Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Apple juice
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 1 cup Dried apple slices

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, salt, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Mix well.

Step 3

In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the apple juice, honey, unsweetened applesauce, and melted coconut oil until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir well until the mixture is evenly combined and forms a dough-like consistency.

Step 5

Using a spoon or your hands, form the dough into small grape-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork or the back of a spoon.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until golden brown and crunchy. Rotate the baking sheets halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cereal to cool completely on the baking sheets.

Step 8

While the cereal cools, roughly chop the dried apple slices into small pieces.

Step 9

Mix the cooled cereal pieces with the chopped dried apples in a large bowl.

Step 10

Store the homemade Applejack cereal in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
