Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

In a large bowl, mix together the oats, pepitas, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, and salt.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, warm the applesauce with the honey, canola oil, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Spread the mixture evenly on a large baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake the granola for about 45 minutes, stirring every ten minutes, until the granola is golden brown. Remove from oven, and stir in the dried apples. Let the granola cool completely. Store the granola in a large, airtight container. The granola will keep for up to one month.

Chef’s notes

This granola is nut-free and uses pepitas instead of nuts.

The applesauce helps make the granola extra crunchy while keeping it low-fat.

Feel free to add pecans, almonds, or walnuts if you like.
