Disclosure

My husband walked through the door the other night after an evening work meeting. The house had a warm cinnamon smell coming from the kitchen. “It smells like you made granola for the second night in a row,” he said. He walked into the kitchen and looked at the counter. “You did make granola for the second night in a row.”

Such is life in a house where I’m trying to limit the amount of boxed cereal my family eats. I make many different version of granola.

I had made a chocolate batch the night before at my daughter’s request. And on this night, I had the idea of Apple Pie Granola.

I still had a bag full of apples in the basement fridge, and I thought granola with dried apples and apple pie spices would be a good combination. I was right. I think this is my favorite granola flavor.

I like to make my granola minimally sweet because I don’t want a big sugar rush for breakfast. Taste the mixture before you put it in the oven to see if it’s sweet enough for you. Add a little extra maple syrup if you think it needs it.

You can pick up chewy dried apples at Trader Joe’s, or dehydrate them yourself like I did. Either way, I think you’re going to love this granola.

Apple granola is a delicious, healthy breakfast or snack.

    Loving all the ingredients in your granola. Did you use virgin coconut oil or regular coconut oil? I wonder if the virgin would be overwhelming in terms of the flavor. Pinning now 🙂

      Liz, I use Carrington Farms unrefined coconut oil from Costco. You don’t taste the coconut at all. Melted butter is an alternative for those who don’t use coconut oil, though.

    Your Apple Pie Granola sounds so good! I agree, I don’t want a sugar rush for breakfast either – but I like a lot of flavour and your granola definitely has that!

      Thanks, April! The spices are a great substitute for all that sugar.
