Apple Cinnamon Granola

---

I adapted my own version of this from 3 or four other recipes. i wanted a low fat, low cal granola so this is what i came up with. this version isn't real sweet but it has an excellent flavor. i wanted my granola pretty crunchy so i left it in the oven for almost 90 minutes. the only thing is, you have to keep a close eye on it or it could burn. for the first 60 minutes i stirred it every 10-15 minutes. for the last 30 minutes i stirred it about every 5.
