Apple Pie Granola

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the oats in an even layer on a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan.

2. 2

   Place the pan in the oven and toast the oats for 10 to 12 minutes.

3. 3

   Transfer the toasted oats to a large bowl and mix in the apples, pecans, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until everything is well coated. Spread the mixture back onto the jelly roll pan.

4. 4

   Bake for 15 minutes, then fold in the raisins. Continue baking, stirring every 10 minutes, until the granola is evenly golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes more. Allow to cool to room temperature, then break apart into a crumbly texture. Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
