Granola recipe

This next week is going to be "Recipe week". I will be posting a favorite recipe of mine each day. Feel free to post one of your favorites too.

This granola recipe is one that calls for experiment. I made it up by combining a few different recipes until I got something that I was looking for. Feel free to adjust to your liking. :)

Granola

5 cups oats
3/4 cup coconut
2 cups apple sauce
1/4 cup flax meal
1/2T cinnamon
3/4 dried fruit

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients, except dried fruit, in a large bowl. Place onto baking sheets. Bake for 1 hour stirring every 15 minutes. Turn off oven, add dried fruit, and let sit in oven for 15-30 more minutes until crunchy.

Granola will not be clumpy. If larger chunks are desired, add more apple sauce.

This makes for a great breakfast with yogurt or a good, crunchy snack.
