Notes
Apple Cinnamon Granola Tips
You need old fashioned rolled oats (not the quick cook variety) for this recipe.
Make sure to cut the apples a little smaller than 1 cm cubes otherwise they won't dry out properly.
Use sweeter apples for a sweeter tasting apple granola.
This is not too sweet - I like my granola that way. But you can double the syrup mixture if you prefer.
Do make sure to cook the granola at the temperature the recipe calls for. If you cook it at a high temperature you risk the granola not drying out but actually burning.
