METHOD:
Preheat the oven to 200C. Grease a brownie tin.
In a large bowl, mix the flours, sugar and oats. Rub in the butter or margarine. Press half the mixture into the brownie tin.
In another bowl, mix the dates, apples and the spice.
Spread this evenly over the pressed oats mixture, allowing a gap of about 1cm at the edges. On top of this add the remaining oats mixture. Press down firmly and then bake for 25 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool before cutting into slices.
