How to Make Almond Cherry Lavender Crunch
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup honey and 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender (or 2 teaspoons lemon zest).
- Remove from heat and let the mixture steep for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a shallow baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the steeped butter mixture with 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup dried cherries (chopped if large), 1 cup sliced almonds, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir until well combined.
- Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking.
- Let the crunch cool completely on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before breaking it into pieces.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- Enjoy this incredibly versatile and flavorful treat!
