Time 10m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups rolled oats
1/3 cup sliced almonds
1/3 cup flaked coconut
1/3 cup wheat germ
3 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons honey

Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups store-bought oat granola, such as Bear Naked Maple Pecan
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon plus 1/4 cup sugar
5 crisp apples, such as Fuji or Gala (about 2 1/2 pounds), peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a medium nonreactive and ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the granola, 1 tablespoon of the flour and 1 tablespoon sugar and toss until the sugar is dissolved and the granola is well coated. Transfer to a bowl. (Reserve the skillet.)
  • Pour the apples into the skillet; toss with the pumpkin pie spice, lemon juice and remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are juicy and slightly softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon flour. Scatter the reserved granola mixture evenly over the top and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the crisp is bubbling and the apples are tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oats: Use old-fashioned or rolled oats for a chewier granola, or quick-cooking oats for a crispier granola.
  • Toast your oats: Toasting the oats before adding them to the skillet helps to bring out their flavor and make them more crispy.
  • Use a variety of nuts and seeds: This will give your granola a variety of textures and flavors. Some popular options include almonds, walnuts, pecans, chia seeds, and flax seeds.
  • Sweeten your granola to taste: You can use honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar to sweeten your granola. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Add spices for extra flavor: Common spices used in granola include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. You can also add a pinch of salt to help balance out the sweetness.
  • Bake your granola until it is golden brown: This will ensure that it is crispy and flavorful.
  • Let your granola cool completely before storing it: This will help to prevent it from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Skillet granola is a quick and easy way to make a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack. It is also a great way to use up leftover oats and nuts. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a granola that is perfect for your taste. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious snack, give skillet granola a try.
