Pecan Cinnamon Apple Granola
Yes, you can make your own granola, and it’s easy! This homemade Pecan Cinnamon Apple Granola recipe from Ahead of Thyme takes little effort, and results in maximum flavor.
The apples naturally sweeten the granola, and the pecans add a warm nuttiness. The enticing aroma of apple pie fills the kitchen.
We got a little impatient waiting for the granola to cool off from the oven, then added to some creamy yogurt… a perfect combination! This is a wonderful snack or topping for all your favorite deserts.
STORE: Store homemade granola in an airtight container (such as a glass canning jar) for up to 2 weeks.
FREEZE: Wrap granola tightly in plastic cling wrap and place inside a freezer bag. Store in freezer for up to 3 months.
