Make your mornings a little easier by prepping this delicious and easy cinnamon apple granola ahead of thyme time and I promise you’ll never buy store-bought again! This stuff literally tastes like apple pie in granola form.... I seriously don't think anything can taste better!!
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!

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.
