Crock-Pot Applesauce Granola

Crock-Pot Applesauce Granola

Slow Cooker Applesauce Granola

This is a recipe from Fake Ginger that is cooked in the oven.  I adjusted it a little to what I had on hand and cooked it in the slow cooker.

Many homemade granola recipes use a lot of oil or butter in order to obtain the crispiness and clusters to form a good granola. However, this applesauce granola uses, you guessed it, unsweetened applesauce and just a little bit of oil to get the same results.

Making this a healthy granola that you really can customize to your liking.

I opted to use pecans and sunflower seed kernels to add extra crunch and flavor along with some brown sugar and cinnamon.

But like I said, you can really customize this recipe to your liking by using other nuts and seeds (walnuts, almonds, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, etc.). You can also change up the seasoning with other spices (nutmeg, cloves, pumpkin pie spice, apple pie spice, etc.)

You can even add in your favorite dried fruit for some yummy chew (raisins, apples, apricots, cranberries, etc.).

Experiment with the recipe and make it totally unique and yours!

    Yum! I’m just wondering if quick oats will work for this or if I have to use the old fashioned kind?
    Thanks! Just found your site and am having a hey-day! 🙂

      Either will work. But quick oats is probably the best. It ends up being toasted in the end.

    Do you mean oats instead of oatmeal in the ingredient list?

      Yes LJ this recipe should read ‘oats” and not “oatmeal” I have edited the recipe to fix that. Thanks for points that out to us!

    I made this as written in the recipe, but it unfortunately did not work out for me. The granola did not clump together, and never got crispy. I cooked for about an hour longer than recipe called for (about 3 hrs total), and made sure to cool completely on cookie sheet. Flavor is good, but I prefer my granola to be clumpy. This was just oatmeal. Maybe needs more liquid and/or fat? I may try the recipe ingredients, and bake in oven.
