Does anyone else think dried apple slices taste and feel like apple gummies?

I promise, I’m not hallucinating due to all this holiday kitchen baking heat. 😉 Okay, maybe I’m only half-hallucinating due to holiday bake fever. But, for real. Dried apple slices are so apple gummies- & marshmallow-like!

I’ve been enjoying a few or more dried apple slices in the last couple months and it’s been this weirdly-satisfying chew hobby—like, if chewing could qualify as an actual hobby and chewing gum were out, I’d totally be chewing on all the bags of dried apple slices. But, like, the apple slices inside the bags, not the, er, actual bags.

And now I’ve probably said “chew,” “bags” and “gummy” way more times that any person should. And I’m okay with that. Why? Because it’s Homemade Apple Cinnamon Granola Day!!! Make that The Reason Why I’ve Published my Dried Apple Slices Taste Like Apple Gummies + Marshmallow Thesis Day!!!

Ready to go out and grab a bag of dried apple slices so we can talk all about it? And, uh, make all the cinnamon apple gluten free granola? 😉

Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

Add-ins


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a medium or large baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside for later.
  2. Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl: nuts, coconut, oats, flaxseed, spices and sugar. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Add wet ingredients: coconut oil and maple syrup. Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold until well mixed.
  4. Pour mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a rubber spatula, press down and pack the granola mixture together to create an even, flat, and very tightly-packed layer, about ½ inch thick. Your granola may not cover the entire baking sheet. Now, nudge the sheet of granola apart in the center (dividing the tightly-packed layer in half), to let air through.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes. Rotate baking sheet. Bake for 18-22 more minutes, until granola is a deep golden brown. Mine took 40 minutes total. Do not flip or move granola—it is fragile and needs to crisp up while cooling.
  6. Place baking sheet on a cooling rack. Allow to cool for about 30 minutes, or until completely cooled and firm. Break sheets of granola into clusters. Toss with apple slices. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

  1. Loved this granola!!! Just a note that I did leave out the oats to make grain free and subbed in almond slices and less maple syrup….was still delish! Paired it with unsweetened almond milk yogurt and sautéed thinly sliced apples with cinnamon and ghee. Another keeper…thank you..

  2. This granola has definitely cheered up my morning! I’ve got everything I need to make this right now, and I’m loving how easy it is to make. It’s going to be a winner in my house for sure!
