6 hours as pilot-in-command (PIC)
12 take-offs and landings
a training flight of at least 1 hour (or a maximum of three totalling 1 hour) with the same flight instructor or class rating instructor.

Above is for the SEP Rating, and the bold is mine.

Again, this is my bold in the equivalent CAA page for the LAPL (that you quoted in the OP):

The privileges of your licence will only remain valid if you have completed, in the last 24 months, as pilot of an aeroplane or TMG:

At least 12 hours flight time as PIC, including 12 take-offs and landings; and
Refresher training of at least 1 hour of total flight time with an instructor.
SEP Rating and LAPL are both EASA qualifications, and I suggest it is therefore logical to assume that the intent is the same in both statements, despite the frustratingly different wording. Otherwise, why would the LAPL statement include the word "total"? It would be redundant.

As ever, finding the actual document and paragraph is a pain, but the link above does reflect what I've seen before in [CAP804? Part-FCL? An IN? Several official places, anyway] and the links are to a CAA web page so hopefully meets your needs unless you've a demand for a formally supportable legal reference!
