Why I Love this Autumn Granola Recipe
I love this awesome recipe because of how easy and quick it is! I live in an ingredient household, meaning we make a lot of our meals from scratch. This recipe has been a lifesaver when I have no idea what to eat for breakfast! It’s a delicious autumn breakfast that I look forward to every morning!
How to Make this Recipe
To make this recipe, you first need to cut the apple. Chop it into medium cubes, a bit smaller than a tablespoon. Just try to make them as even as possible. I’ll tell you more about this later. In a medium pan over medium heat, cook the apples, honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook until the apples are golden brown. The juice from the apple should be enough, so you don’t need to add water.
When there’s a bit of liquid remaining and the apples are golden brown, add the oats and walnuts. Reduce the heat to low, and stir until fully combined. Cook on low heat until the oats are toasted. If you want the walnuts to be toasted, you can toast them before adding the apples.
The final thing to do is to take the pan off the heat. Serve warm in a bowl. You can add some more cinnamon or a drizzle of honey on top if you want to! Enjoy!
Extra Tips Before You Make This Autumn Granola
Apples
My first tip is to choose a very sweet apple variety. Granny Smith apples are not recommended because they are on the sour side. Make sure to chop the apples into cubes small enough to cook properly. If you want it to taste like apple pie, you have to do this. Also, make sure that the apples are browned enough in the pan. You want them toasted.
Seasonings
Feel free to experiment with seasonings! I used cinnamon and nutmeg, but you can add whatever spices you like. Want a gingerbread granola? Replace honey with molasses and add a bit of ginger and cloves. I bet that would taste amazing!
Oats and Walnuts
My final tips are about the oats and walnuts. The oats and walnuts are the last ingredients that you add. You want them to be toasted. You’ll know they’re ready when you can smell them well. This took me about one minute.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use pecans instead of walnuts? Of course! You can use any nut.
Can I use maple syrup instead of honey? Sure! Just keep an eye on it so you don’t overcook it. The cooking time will change when replacing honey with maple.
How long does this last for? I wouldn’t recommend keeping this granola for more than 24 hours. The oats could get soggy. If making the night before, store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Ok, that’s all you need to know when making this recipe. Have fun, enjoy, and have a wonderful day!
