Apple Granola

Apple Granola

Ingredients:
3 cups  apple cider
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar 
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup chopped whole almonds 
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1 cup chopped dried apples

I boiled the apple cider first to ½ cup. While it was boiling I mixed oats, chopped whole almonds, chopped pecans. Then I poured the apple cider on and then added the brown sugar,  canola oil, ground cinnamon and spice that would be in an apple pie and salt. Then I spread it on a cookie sheet and let cook for 30 min stirring every 10 min. until its toasted.

It tastes good with yogurt but we put milk on it and it still tasted good. Its found in Paula Deen’s magazine apple desert page 35. ( I didn't use sesame seeds but you can put it in. I don't know how it would taste. I didn't put the apples in either because we didn't have apples at that time.)
