I love the chewy, sweet bursts of dried apple in this granola. It adds such a great texture and you all know how much I love texture in my food! I’ve been having this apple almond granola for breakfast with a dollop of greek yoghurt and some fresh apple on top. I’ll be honest though, it’s also excellent straight from the jar!

Make sure you do let it cool down completely in the pan, it ensures it’s nice and crispy. It also helps some clumps form and we all know how delicious the clumps of granola are!

If you don’t have maple syrup then you can switch it up for honey or even rice malt syrup instead. Any will work just fine! It’s seriously such a simple breakfast to whip up. Make a batch on a Sunday afternoon and you’ll get to enjoy a delicious breakfast all week long!
