Homemade Apple Puree Granola Recipe

Begin by preheating your oven to 180 °C (350 °F).

Take the 2 large apples, peel them, and chop them into smaller pieces. Arrange the apple pieces on a baking tray, making sure they are spread evenly.

Bake the apples in the oven for about 20 minutes until they are soft. Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before blending.

Transfer the baked apples to a blender and blend until you achieve a smooth puree. Set aside to cool completely.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, honey, olive or sunflower oil, chopped mixed nuts, a pinch of salt, and cinnamon to taste.

Make sure to mix all the ingredients thoroughly until the oats and nuts are evenly coated with the liquid ingredients. This will ensure every bite is delicious!

Finally, add the cooled apple puree into the mixture and stir until everything is well combined.

Preheat your oven to 160 °C (320 °F). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, creating a thin layer for even baking.

Bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring the granola every 10 minutes. This helps achieve a golden-brown color and ensures it bakes evenly.

Once the granola is baked to perfection, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet.

Once cooled, transfer your granola to a glass jar or airtight container for storage. Enjoy your healthy apple puree granola as a snack or breakfast treat!
