Love this recipe but I omit all of the dried fruit because it is wonderful without and way fewer calories. We put in on top of yogurt and also on top of my healthy apple pie filling. You wouldn't believe that 1/2 cup of the pie filling, 1/4 cup of granola with a big spoon of cool whip is only about 200 calories. Tastes just like apple crisp!
Thank you so much. I've been looking for a low fat granola. I didnt have all the ingredients, but even with I had, taste GREAT. Next time, I'm going to follow the whole recipe. Thank you again.
I took my granola out of the oven a few minutes early, and once I put everything together, it looked exactly like the picture!
This recipe is incredibly easy to make and tastes absolutely delicious. It's one my family wants many, many times and we'll be making it every chance we get. It's a keeper, for sure.
