Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
  2. Combine the almonds and walnuts in a food processor and process until chunky (leave pieces for texture!)
  3. In a large bowl combine all dry ingredients up to and including the cinnamon.
  4. Melt the coconut oil in the microwave and combine with the cashew butter, vanilla and applesauce. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir briefly.
  6. Add in the shredded apple and mix until everything looks a bit wet.
  7. On a large tray with parchment paper, spread out the granola into a thin layer and press down with a silicone spatula. You want to press down firmly to try and keep the granola somewhat stuck together versus spread out.
  8. Bake for 12 minutes then stir the granola, pressing it down again.
  9. Bake another fourteen minutes until granola is starting to brown (it won't look quite done yet)
  10. Remove from oven and let sit for one hour to firm up before moving.
