NOTES
1. Granny Smith - this sour apple still has a bite after baking. The fresh and sour flavor combines excellently with the sweet Granola. You could also opt for a Jonagold apple. Don’t use a stew apple because they will fall apart, and you’ll get apple butter instead of pie.
2. Gingerbread spices - these belong in a Dutch apple pie, so why not use them here. You could substitute it with cinnamon.
3. Oven - When using a conventional oven, set the temperature to 320 °F (160 °C). In a convection oven, 285 °F (140 °C) is enough.
4. Storage
Eat this breakfast when it’s still warm. Unfortunately, you can’t store it.
However, you can store the Granola:
- Room temperature - In an airtight sealed container, the Granola will keep for up to 2 months.
- Freezer - Although the structure changes slightly, it is possible to store Granola in the freezer. Place the Granola in an airtight box or bag (with as little air as possible) and store it in the freezer for up to three months.
