Preparation

• Preheat the oven to 375℉. Preheat a 9x9 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Chop 6 medium apples into bite-size pieces. I used an apple slicer to make wedges and cut them into bite-sized pieces with a knife.
• Add the chopped apples into a large bowl with ½ cup brown sugar, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Toss until apples are evenly coated.
• In a separate bowl, mix ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats - large flake oats, ½ cup brown sugar, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Break down any clumps in the brown sugar.
• Melt ½ cup salted butter in the microwave for 10-20 seconds. Pour over the rolled oat mixture, and mix.
• Pour the apples into the prepared baking dish. Use your hands to spread the rolled oat mixture over the apples. Cover the apples as evenly as possible.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the apples are tender when poked with a fork, and granola is crispy golden brown. Let cool for 5-10 minutes then serve with your favorite topping! Find suggestions at the bottom of 'recipe tips'.
