Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 320° F (160° C) and line baking tray with baking paper.
Mix all dry ingredients (except apple, apple sauce, coconut oil, honey) in large mixing bowl.
Combine diced apple, apple sauce, coconut oil & honey.
Add ‘wet’ mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring well to ensure all of the dry ingredients are well coated.
Spread evenly on lined baking tray and bake for 10-15 minutes. Stir well to avoid clusters forming, and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Check regularly to avoid burning.
Allow the mixture to cool completely before storing your granola. Store in airtight container for up to a week, without the apple, you should be able to store for up to a month.
