Gluten Free Apple Pie Granola
It’s basically the scents of apple picking, a cinnamon stick and a cookie in your mouth at the same time.
Pile on the apple pie seasoning, fresh honey crisp apple, gluten free oats and all that maple syrup.
Who cares about breakfast!?!?! This is a great snack.
Homemade food gift idea.
What a great personal gift to give away this season.
I used old jam jars here and with a simple ribbon or string with a personalized tag would be so heart warming and well received.

My Homemade Nutty Granola recipe has coconut flakes, dried cranberries, pecans and raisins – I love how the raisin roast just right and plump up.
I used oats in my favorite Healthy Morning Banana Blueberry Oat Muffins and this breakfast cake is a good one too – Maple Blueberry Cornmeal Cake with Oat Crumble
Looking for a dessert with oats…my Nectarine + Cinnamon Vanilla Oat Cookie Bake is perfection.
