What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For the best flavor and crunch, use crisp, sweet-tart apples like Honeycrisp, Fuji, Gala, or Pink Lady.
- 2If your almond butter is too stiff, warm it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make it easier to spread.
- 3These are best enjoyed immediately, as the apples will start to brown and the granola can become soft over time.
- 4For a touch of sweetness, drizzle a small amount of honey or maple syrup over the top before serving.
