    Nothing screams fall quite like cinnamon and apples — add in some crunchy pecans and chewy raisins and you’ll be putting this cinnamon apple granola on everything. I like to serve it on top of my favourite yogurt, incorporate it into a yummy fruit parfait, or simply eat by the handful (kind of my favourite way to devour this!). This granola is also ah-mazing as a topping on vanilla ice cream! Trust me on this one.

    If you’ve never made your own granola, you’ll be amazed by how simple it really is. Take the 10 minutes needed to prepare this and enjoy this simple, flavourful homemade granola all week long.... or maybe all day long, depending how fast you get addicted to this stuff!

    Description

    Make your mornings a little easier by prepping this delicious and easy cinnamon apple granola aka apple pie granola ahead of time and I promise you’ll never buy store-bought again!


    Ingredients

    • 2 cups rolled oats
    • 2 apples, peeled, cored, and cut into ¼-inch cubes
    • ½ cup pecan halves
    • ¼ cup dark brown sugar
    • ¼ cup raisins
    • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon salt

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 325 F. 
    2. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, then stir to thoroughly combine. Pour out onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
    3. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring once halfway. Re-spread the granola and put back in the oven.
    4. Let cool and store in an airtight container. 

    Notes

    How to serve granola: You can serve granola in so many different ways. The easiest is just on its own as a snack by the handfuls. You can also add it on top of milk or yogurt, or layer it in a fruit and yogurt parfait, or top it on banana toast with honey. It is also pretty amazing on top of a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream.

      Easy peasy and super healthy. I cut the butter and the sugar a bit each. Also found I needed to more than double the baking baking time (or toast the granola before eating) as we prefer it crunchy and more well-done, otherwise we found this recipe left it still soggy and mushy which would get worse once put in a container.
      All in all it’s a great recipe!! We added pears and almonds too.
