Fresh Apple Cinnamon Granola smells amazing whilst baking along in the oven, and tastes even better! What more screams Fall in a bowl that a combination of freshly baked apples, dried cranberries, lots of cinnamon, maple syrup, and some pumpkin seeds? The perfect combination! Pairs well with some milk or yogurt, on top of some muffins just before baking, or as a snack all by itself.

Notes

This is very cinnamony, so if you aren’t a huge fan of cinnamon you might want to reduce the amount you use.

To freeze, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet small enough to fit into the freezer. Pop into the freezer. Remove when frozen and transfer to a freezer-friendly container or Ziploc bag and pop back into the freezer until ready to use.
