Just-like-dessert Crunchy Granola

Thanks to the sister Sarah for this recipe–simple, sweet, crunchy, toasted granola. I made it to eat for breakfast, but add some vanilla yogurt and fresh berries, and this is dessert!

 

GRANOLA

8 c rolled oats

1 c wheat germ

½ c coconut

1 ½ cups brown sugar

1/3 cup oil or applesauce

1/3 c water

1/3 c apple juice (from concentrate, thawed)

Combine oats, wheat germ, and coconut in a large bowl. Mix sugar, oil, water, apple juice and vanilla together.  Pour over dry ingredients and mix well.  Spread onto a large sheetcake pan. Bake for 30-60 min at 300 degrees until golden brown. Store in an airtight container.
