Apple Walnut Spice Granola Clusters
Report
These chewy, crunchy granola clusters make an irresistible snack and tasty morning breakfast with yogurt and fruit. I add additional chopped dried apples and golden raisins after breaking the homemade granola into clusters.

Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oatmeal old fashioned
- 1 cup walnuts chopped
- ½ cup wheat germ
- 1 tablespoon Flax Seed optional
- 1 ½ cups dried apple finely diced, divided
- ½ cup golden raisins
- ½ cup almond butter creamy
- ⅓ cup honey
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons canola oil or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon can substitute apple pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Evenly spread the oatmeal on a sheet pan in an even layer. On another baking sheet, spread the walnuts into a single layer. Bake for 10 minutes until lightly toasted.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 300°
- In a large bowl, combine the oatmeal, walnuts, wheat germ flax seed, 1 cup of dried chopped apples and raisins. Toss to combine.
- In a small saucepan combine the almond butter, honey, brown sugar, canola oil and cinnamon. Heat just to boiling and cook, stirring constantly for about 1 minute until the brown sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
- Pour the almond butter mixture into the oatmeal mixture and work with a rubber spatula or your clean hands until thoroughly combined.
- Transfer the granola to the baking pan and use your fingers to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Allow granola to cool for an hour before breaking into clusters. Chop the remaining 1/2 cup of apples and toss them with the granola clusters. The apples baked into the granola will firm up in the oven, while the freshly chopped ones stay soft.
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container.
