Ingredients
For the Cinnamon Apples:
- 3 pounds firm apples e.g. Gala or Fuji, sliced into large chunks or wedges
- ½ cup water, more if needed
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
For the Crunchy Granola:
- 1/3 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/3 cup coconut flakes
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/3 cup golden raisins
- Optional add-ins: dried fruit, sesame seeds, nuts, etc
Directions
For the Cinnamon Apples:
- In a large skillet with a lid, combine water, cinnamon, and brown sugar over medium low heat.
- Once sugar is dissolved, add apple chunks or wedges and stir well to coat.
- Lower the heat and cover until apples are softened, about 20 minutes. Add water if the pan starts to look dry.
For the Crunchy Granola:
- Place all ingredients except for honey into a quart container or a container with a lid and shake to combine. Add honey and shake again, mixing if needed to avoid clumping.
- Preheat a skillet to medium heat. Place mixture into the skillet to toast, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and golden brown (about 3-5 minutes). Be sure to watch carefully to avoid burning!
- Unplug skillet and cool in an even layer in pan or on parchment paper.
