Cinnamon Apple Granola

Cinnamon Apple Granola

Cinnamon Apple Granola made with oats, almonds, pumpkin seeds, freshly diced green apples, brown sugar, coconut oil, applesauce and cinnamon. The taste is delicious and the smell is wonderful.

Fall is officially here and the air is crispy, the leaves are changing color and my taste buds are craving… apple pie… for real. I love Apple Pie during the Fall but my waistline says NO, rather rudely I might add. Need to save those calories for the upcoming Holiday’s. This Cinnamon Apple Granola was inspired by an apple pie with cinnamon and fresh green apples.

This granola recipe is very simple to make. You will need :

  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • 2 mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • granola ingredients in recipe below

Combine all ingredients together with a whisk and add to your parchment paper lined baking sheet and place into the oven for an hour. Your house is going to smell like a freshly baked apple pie! It is amazing.

Cinnamon Apple Granola will pair beautifully on top of your morning vanilla yogurt or for a snack during the day at work. You can even place it on some frozen yogurt for a delicious treat.
