Apple Walnut Granola

After reading many places about substituting applesauce for oil in baked goods I finally tried it with my granola.  I have seen applesauce listed in granola ingredients often so I thought that it was worth a try.  I used applesauce in place of all of the oil but you could do half and half or any other ratio.  I baked the oil-less granola at a lower temperature for a longer time to ensure that it didn’t burn.  The granola baked in larger clumps due to the consistency of the applesauce but as such it made the perfect snack by the handful, all by itself, too.  I will definitely be using applesauce in my granola again.  For another autumn granola, try my pumpkin pie-spiced granola made with pumpkin puree.
