I modified my original grain free granola recipe & made this Apple Pie Granola. It's sweet enough to be satisfying and has all the spice of a traditional apple pie. It is great dry or with some homemade coconut milk. Getting all the ingredients out takes awhile, but it makes a big batch. Plus your kitchen will smell amazing! If you make it, let me know what you think in the comments or by email. renaeats@gmail.com
Grain Free Apple Pie Granola
1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
2 cups shredded coconut, unsweetened
1 cup roasted & salted sunflower seeds
1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
2 Tbsp ground flaxseed
2 tsp cinnamon (I like Korintje)
1/4 tsp ground allspice
2 Tbsp raw honey
2 Tbsp maple syrup
1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup coconut oil (I used refined, unrefined will give a more coconutty flavor)
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup dried apples, chopped
**************************************************************************
Preheat oven to 300.
In a large bowl, mix all nuts, seeds and spices.
In a saucepan combine honey, syrup, applesauce and oil. Heat until all liquid and combined.
Add in vanilla.
Dump over the nut mixture & coat.
Spread on parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring once.
Add in dried apples and bake for 10 more minutes. Mixture should be toasted light brown.
Cool completely. I like to store mine in a glass jar.
