This crunchy, apple granola is filled with apple flavor to get you in the mood for fall. You won’t be able to stop with just one bowl!
Why is it every August a wave of nostalgia hits me? I’m sure it hits all of us, or at least most of us.
I’m feeling nostalgic to put on a comfy pair of jeans.
to walk through yellow, orange, and red leaves scattered on the ground.
to eat a big pumpkin muffin.
to go apple picking.
Until I’m able to do all these things, I’ll settle for lots of this Apple Granola!! 😉
Happy Fall!!
