Apple Cinnamon Granola Recipe

This Apple Cinnamon Granola Recipe is a great option for breakfast, topping yogurt, ice cream, or snack on like a trail mix. Making your granola homemade means you’ll be able to avoid some of the added sugar you find in many store brands. This apple cinnamon flavor is great since it is reminiscent of your favorite apple pie.

Apple cinnamon granola is so simple to make on your own. You can use dehydrated apples you buy in the grocery store, or if you have a lot of apples, you can slice them thin and dehydrate them on your own.

Mix together these basic ingredients and spread them in an even layer on a large cookie sheet. I prefer using a silicone baking mat on mine to prevent sticking without having to add extra oil or spray to the surface. Bake this simple granola and enjoy a special treat!

Make double batches of this granola and portion into small snack bags to add to your weekly lunch box bin for kids to grab and add to their lunch as desired. You can add this to a lunch box alongside a container of plain yogurt for a healthier dessert option.

Our favorite use of this apple cinnamon granola recipe is to top sliced apples and bake as an apple crumble for a healthy and delicious dessert!
