Cherry-Almond Granola


We love granola, and this recipe is great!

1 cup brown sugar
½ cup honey
⅓ cup frozen apple juice concentrate
2 tablespoons oil
3 teaspoons almond extract
6 cups rolled oats
1 ½ cups dried cherries (or dried cranberries)
1 cup slivered almonds

Cook the brown sugar, honey, apple juice, and oil in a small saucepan over medium heat just until sugar is dissolved. Mix in almond extract and remove from heat. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix oats, cherries, and almonds. Drizzle sugar mixture over oat mixture, stirring well to coat evenly. Spread into even layers on two cookie sheets and bake at 375° for 15-20 min, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. This granola is really good served over vanilla yogurt! Makes about 3 quarts.
