  • 1/4 tsp salt

For the oats

  • 2 1/2 cups (180g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 apple, peeled and diced they need to be a tiny bit smaller than 1 cm cubed, or they won't dry properly

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.
