Name: Apple Cinnamon Granola
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 37 min
Total time: 52 min
Ingredients: ¼ cup raw honey (or pure maple syrup); 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin organic coconut oil; 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract; 3 cups dry rolled oats; ¼ cup coarsely chopped raw walnuts; 2 tsp. ground cinnamon; ½ tsp. ground nutmeg; ¼ tsp. ground cloves; ¼ tsp. sea salt; 1 medium apple, cored, chopped; ¼ cup raisins

Once you try making your own granola at home, you’ll never go back to the store-bought version again.

This Apple Cinnamon Granola is like fall in a bowl. It includes fresh apples, raisins, and honey to provide natural sweetness.

You could substitute maple syrup for the honey, or for a lower-sugar alternative, try unsweetened applesauce instead.

Walnuts can be replaced with other nuts such as pecans or sliced almonds. And instead of raisins, you could toss in dried cranberries, currants, or blueberries.

Your homemade granola will crisp up as it cools, so make sure you give it time to cool before packaging it up.

Cooled granola should be stored in an airtight jar, container, or re-sealable plastic bag. Sprinkle on oatmeal, yogurt, or smoothie bowls.

Apples and cinnamon are classic fall flavors, and they both come together to create this granola recipe. It's crunchy, sweet, and perfectly spiced.
