Apple Pie Granola
This delicious apple pie granola, full of wholesome ingredients, tastes and smells like apple pie but is much quicker and easier to make.
I always have homemade granola in the pantry because we all like to eat it with Greek yogurt. I stumbled upon this easy apple pie granola recipe on Healthful Blondie and it turned out to be a hearty, healthy, and incredibly delicious granola and we especially loved the little bits of apple.
Apple Pie Granola
Ingredients:
- 2½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- ⅔ cup Honeycrisp apple (about 1 apple), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch cubes, dried in paper towels to remove excess moisture
- ½ cup pecans or walnuts, chopped
- 1½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup real maple syrup
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
How to Make Apple Pie Granola
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the oats, apples, pecans, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the coconut oil, maple syrup, and brown sugar, until melted and well combined. Remove from the stovetop and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the maple mixture over the dry ingredients and mix until well combined and evenly coated.
Spread the mixture evenly over the prepared baking sheet. Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 33-38 minutes, stirring halfway through baking time.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Once cool, break into crumbles.
Store at room temperature in an airtight container for 1 week or sealed in an airtight ziplock bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.
