4c old fashion oats

1 1/2 – 2 c Raw Almonds (sliced or whole, NOT blanched)

1/2 c packed light brown sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 c. natural apple sauce

1/4 c. honey

1 tsp vanilla

Raisins or other dried fruit (cheeries, cranberries, etc.)

Preheat oven 300. Mix first 5 ingredients in large bowl. In a small sauce pan combine the apple sauce and honey..stirring constantly..heat until smooth (1 minute or less)..add vanilla…stir. Pour honey mixture over oat mixture and stir with wooden spoon until oat mixture is coated. Put on cookie sheet and bake for 40 minutes (or until golden brown) stirring every 10 minutes. Let cool. Add dried fruit and mix. Store in airtight container. Use as cereal (yum) or on top of safe yogurt or eat plain.

OPTIONS: You can use peanut butter instead of apple sauce and peanuts instead of almonds for a peanut butter granola (everything else exactly the same).

You can use oil instead of apple sauce if needed (same amount)

Add shredded apples to the mix BEFORE baking…leave peel on (about 1-2 apples)
