Apple Crisp with Homemade Granola

Two for the price of one, and without all the unnecessary stories about how these recipes came to be!

Apple Crisp

2 medium-sized apples diced thinly

1/4 cup brown sugar (or to taste...I measure with my heart)

1/4 cup butter

Homemade granola

Heat the butter in a pan on the stove over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and moisten in the butter. Add the apples and saute until gooey. Serve topped with homemade (or store bought if you're into that) granola.

Homemade Granola

2 cup oats

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup butter, melted

1 tbsp vanilla

1 tbsp water

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp nutmeg

Optional add-in ideas: peanut butter, almonds or other nuts, chocolate chips, coconut, etc

Melt butter and stir in brown sugar. Add vanilla and water. Mix in spices. Add the oats. Stir until it is well mixed. Pour it onto a baking sheet and press down firmly. Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour. Allow oats to cool completely then break into chunks of the desired size. Store in airtight container.
