KANZI® apple pie granola

INGREDIENTS

2 KANZI® apples, peeled, cored, and cut into small cubes
4 cups plain rolled oats (or puffed multigrain blend for gluten free option)
1 cup almonds (or other nuts of choice), roughly chopped
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract

Kick-start your day with this deliciously nutritious KANZI® Apple Pie Granola. Filled with oats, almonds, cinnamon and nourishing KANZI® apples, it's a great meal-prep idea - perfect as a healthy breakfast or tasty snack.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 180C degrees. Line a large baking tray/pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped Kanzi apples, oats, nuts, cinnamon and salt. Stir to combine evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine oil, maple syrup and vanilla. Pour into the Kanzi apple mixture and fold though so the apple is evenly coated.
Pour the granola onto the prepared tray and use a large spoon to spread it in an even layer.
Bake for about 10 minutes. Press the granola down with your spatula then return to the oven for a further 10-15 min or until lightly golden. Don’t bake the granola too long—just until it’s lightly golden on top, as it will continue to crisp up as it cools.
Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely (for at least 20 minutes) to allow it to clump together.
Once cooled, break the granola into pieces with your hands, serve and enjoy.

TIP: Adding Kanzi apples to your morning granola is a great way to sneak extra fruit into your day. Just one Kanzi will provide almost half your recommended daily intake of vitamin C, which supports your immunity system, your mood and even fights fatigue.
