Ingredients
2˝ cups traditional rolled oats (not quick oats) 3 cups of Spelt Flakes (or you can use Old Fashion Oats)1 tbsp. of Chia Seeds (Optional)1 teaspoon ground cinnamon1 teaspoon ground ginger3/4 teaspoon salt1/2 cup light brown sugar - Unpacked3/4 cup applesauce (I use natural/unsweetened)1/4 cup honey1 1/4 cups chopped or slivered almonds1/2 cup dried cranberries1/2 cup chopped dried cherries or any other fruit you like
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, Chia Seeds, cinnamon, ginger and salt.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, applesauce and honey until thoroughly combined.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix well, until all of the oats are moistened. Spread on the prepared pan in an even layer.
5. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the pan from the oven and turn the granola over very carefully using a wide spatula (you’ll probably need to do this in sections). Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until crisp and golden.
6. Cool completely on the baking sheet.
7. Break up the granola into chunks and stir in the almonds, dried cranberries and apricots. Store in an airtight container
