DIRECTIONS:
Granola
Preheat oven to 300°F. In a small sauce pot, combine oil and syrup, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add vanilla. In a bowl, combine oats, seeds, almonds, and cinnamon and mix well. Drizzle the oil/syrup mixtureover the dry mix and combine. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until toasted. Note: To ensure it’s done, taste the almonds. They should be crisp, not chewy. Add dried apples and coconut flakes, and set aside to cool.
Crisp
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a bowl, combine all ingredients except granola and place in a nine-by-13-inch glass dish. Cook for 45 minutes. Top with granola and cook for 10 minutes. Cool to room temperature, and serve à la mode.
