Ingredients
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup ghee
- 1 tsp salt
- 3.5 cups rolled oats
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 medium apple
Instructions
- Add maple syrup and ghee to a sauce pan over medium heat
- Whisk the ghee into the maple syrup as it melts
- Once the ghee is fully melted increase the heat to medium-high
- Allow the mixture to come to a rolling boil – watch closely so that it does not boil over
- Whisk and reduce the heat to medium-low
- Simmer on medium-low whisking frequently for 20 minute – the mixture should reduce to a thicker syrup
- While that reduces peel apple and slice into small pieces
- Preheat the oven to 325F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Combine rolled oats, cinnamon and apple pieces in a large mixing bowl
- Once the caramel syrup has simmered for 20 minutes remove from the heat and immediately whisk in the salt
- Allow that mixture to cool slightly and then pour over the oats and apple
- Mix thoroughly with a flat spatula so all oats and apple pieces are evenly coated in the salted caramel mixture
- Spread the mixture onto the baking sheet in an even layer – you want all of the oats to be touching each other as they cook so that you can break into crumbles after
- Bake at 325F for 30 minutes
- Allow the granola to cool completely before crumbling
- Store in an airtight in container on the counter for up to 5 days or longer in the refrigerator
