How to Make Glacier Peaks Granola Low Fat

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups rolled oats, 1 cup puffed rice cereal, ½ cup wheat bran, and ½ cup sliced almonds.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, ¼ cup honey, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground ginger. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes, or until honey is melted, stirring frequently.
  4. Pour the applesauce mixture over the oat mixture in the large bowl, stirring well to coat all ingredients evenly.
  5. Spread the granola mixture evenly in a large, ungreased jelly-roll pan or baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, then gently stir the granola. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, ensuring to watch carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Once completely cooled, stir in ½ cup dried apricots (chopped) and ½ cup dried cranberries.
  9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
