Granola With Raisins, Apples And Cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place oats and rice cereal into a large bowl. Toss well. In a small bowl combine the honey, applesauce, vanilla and cinnamon. Pour over the oat mixture and toss with your hands. Don't break clumps apart. Pour onto nonstick baking sheet, spread evenly and bake for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove when golden brown.

In the meantime, toast the slivered almonds. When oats are done, combine the almonds, apple pieces and raisins with the oat mixture. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

This recipe yields 6 1/2 cups or 13 half-cup servings.
