• 100 grams Almonds (roughly chopped)
• 150 grams Apple puree
• 4 tablespoons Runny honey
• 100 grams Soft light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon

• 125 milliliters Vegetable oil
• 300 grams Mixed dried fruits (e.g., raisins, dried cranberries, chopped apricots, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and roughly chopped almonds.

Step 3

In a smaller bowl or saucepan, mix together the apple puree, runny honey, soft light brown sugar, cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, and vegetable oil. Stir until well incorporated.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly to ensure all the oats and nuts are coated evenly.

Step 5

Spread the granola mixture out onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, stirring the granola every 10 minutes to ensure it cooks evenly and doesn’t burn.

Step 7

Once the granola is golden brown and fragrant, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet.

Step 8

Once cooled, mix in the dried fruits and store the granola in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Step 9

Serve with milk, yogurt, or enjoy as a snack!
