Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cinnamon and salt and stir to combine.
  3. In a separate small bowl, combine melted coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and use a wooden spoon or spatula to ensure they are well combined.
  5. Add chopped apple to the bowl and stir to ensure it is well coated with the oat mixture. (Note, be sure that the apples are chopped into a small dice; this will ensure that they dry out slightly during the baking process. If you leave them too large they may leave too much moisture in the granola.)
  6. Turn the granola mixture onto a baking sheet, spreading it out evenly.
  7. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Once complete, remove the granola from the oven, stir or toss the granola on the baking sheet with a spoon or spatula, and then return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
  8. After 10 minutes, remove the granola from the oven again, add the chopped pecans to the baking sheet, and then return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes or until apples are dry and the granola is golden brown.
  9. Once complete, remove the granola from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet.
  10. Once cooled, transfer the apple cinnamon granola to a jar or airtight container and store at room temperature for up 3-4 days.
  11. Serve cold with yogurt or milk and additional sliced apple on top.
