Today is extra special! Not only is it Friday, but it’s also the first day of September. I think I can safely pull out all of my fall decorations and not be looked at funny.
Yes, I am fully aware that it’s still 100+ degrees here, when you count the heat index, but it’s September, and I’m craving leaves changing color, even though we don’t have that here.
Palm trees don’t lose their color, unless they are dieing. I’m craving cool and crisp breezes. Yea, we don’t have those here either until November, and then it’s not all that crisp like.
I’m also craving fall flavored everything. And for the past month and a half, I’ve made fall everything.
Y’all may have seen my recipe for Cinnamon Maple Granola with Cranberries about a week or so ago. You didn’t? Well, click the name, and go check it out. It’s delicious and tastes like fall!
Since I’ve been on that little granola kick that you also read about with that recipe, I’ve decided to share another granola recipe that I’ve been making.
This one is loved by the whole family. I make a version for Kelsie since she has nut allergies, without the nuts. It’s just as tasty.
I love using the Bare Fruit Chips in my granola, and I used the Fuji and Reds apple chips in this recipe. You could use another flavor like granny smith or even the cinnamon one, but I like this one the best. It’s the perfect little apple crunch to help give you the feel of apple pie.
I think one of my favorite things about making my own granola besides of the fact that it’s easy, is I love that I can control the amount of sugar. I also like to use maple syrup as my choice of sweetener.
Apple Pie Granola ingredients:

Apple Pie Granola serving ideas:
This granola is perfect with milk, nut milks, and it’s amazing on top of yogurt.
I’ve also sliced up some apples, tossed them in some butter in a small pan on the stove top, and cooked them down a little. I topped them with this granola and some homemade whipped cream. It made a perfect light dessert!
Plop it on top of ice cream!

We add dried fruit to all our granola. Just depends on what I have put in the dehydrator and what we have on hand. Granola can be used in so many different ways.

This looks amazingly delicious. I love Bare Snacks too. This would save me from a step for my breakfast. I usually mix granola and cinnamon apples into my yogurt but this would take away the step of making the apples!

What a perfect recipe for fall. We make it to the apple orchard at least once during the Fall season and this would be a great way to use up some of our homemade apple sauce.
