Preheat the oven to 190degC (175degC fan assisted), 375degF, gas mark 5. Lightly oil a non-stick 18cm square baking tin and line the bottom with baking parchment or silicon.
Sift together the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt cocoa and spices.Beat the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy, then add the egg, little by little, beating well after each addition.
Fold in the flour mixture, then the oats, apple and nuts. Stir gently until well mixed.
Turn into the prepared tin and bake for 20-30mins or until the top is browned and a knife inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Allow to cool for a few minutes in the tin, then carefully transfer to a rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with sieved icing sugar, then cut into 10-12 bars.
