How to make vegan Apple Cinnamon Granola
STEP 1:
Preheat your oven to 325 °F / 160 °C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
STEP 2:
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped apple, oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir well.
STEP 3:
Add the oats to the bowl and stir again until everything is well coated.
STEP 4:
Transfer the oat mix to the baking sheet and spread evenly. (For clumpy granola: use a spatula to press the oats into the pan. Repeat this step after taking the granola out of the oven.)
STEP 5:
Bake for about 10 minutes; remove from oven, stir, add the pecans, then bake for another 10 minutes, while checking on the pecans every 2 minutes (they burn easily).
STEP 6:
The granola won’t be dry right out of the oven, but it will dry as it cools, so give it time before eating.
STEP 7:
After it’s done drying, break up the granola with your hands and transfer to an airtight container.
