This recipe is a twofer—two recipes in a single and doing double obligation as both a breakfast or a dessert. And you may make simply one after the other or 50 for an enormous social gathering. They aren’t finicky, journey effectively, and may be served heat, chilly, or any temp in between. Plus, there’s little or no extra pure Michigan than discovering one other meal so as to add bitter cream to!
In our home we all the time have apples (thanks, prolific apple growers and a crop that shops for months on finish) and make granola frequently, so I normally bake up a batch of those once I make that week’s granola. Observe which you could make it with any dried fruit, however as a born-and-raised Michigander, I’ll all the time advocate for dried cherries. If you happen to do bake the granola to only snack on all through the week, add the fruit after baking so it doesn’t get leathery; when baked on the apples, the steam from the fruit cooking retains the dried fruit gentle.
