It's AUTUMN! You know what that means? Copious amounts of apple picking which leads to endless amounts of yummy apples in the pantry! I went apple picking with my family and some friends over the Thanksgiving weekend and came away with 80lbs in apples!
What on earth can I do with that many apples? After making pies, tarts and loads of apple sauce my family and I are still left with about 30lbs haha.
Next step? Slowly devour them as snacks, with peanut butter or use them in making delicious autumn inspired granola! Hope you enjoy this recipe, it's one of my favourites!
