Cozy Apple Pie Granola: Fall Obsession!
Apple Granola: Bake this wholesome, crunchy, and perfectly spiced granola. A vegan and gluten-free recipe packed with fresh apples, ideal for a healthy breakfast.
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled Oats (or Jumbo Oats)
- 1 cup Almonds (chopped roughly or whole)
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Clove Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg Powder
- pinch Salt
- 1 Large Apple (diced, unpeeled)
- 1/3 cup Coconut Oil (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened Applesauce (or Apple Puree)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 325F/160C. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine oats, almonds, cinnamon powder, clove powder, nutmeg powder, salt, and diced apples. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce. Pour this wet mixture over the oat mixture and toss thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the granola mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 60-65 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes to ensure even toasting and prevent burning. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through if your oven bakes unevenly.
- The granola is done when it's nicely toasted and a light golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Once cooled, break it into clusters and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. If it loses crispness, flash roast in a preheated oven at 325F for 5-6 minutes.
