Apple pie with granola topping

Ymmmmm. Apple pie.

I'll be honest, this wasn't my best pie. Well, this wasn't my favorite pie. It was very good, I'm just not a big fan of granola, so....maybe that's why I didn't favor this pie. This was my own creation....I guess I should have known better. If you like granola - you will love this pie!  How's that?!

Ingredients:
Store bought pie crust (mine was from BitterSweet Bakery again).
5-8 apples of your choice (depending on size), peeled (if preferred) and cut in small cubes or slices
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. allspice
1-2 cups of granola (I used Udi's Natural Granola)
4 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Toss diced apples with cinnamon, cloves and allspice, pour into pie plate. Top with 4 Tbsp. butter, cut into small pieces. Mix granola with brown sugar and cover apples with mixture. Bake at 300 for about 45 minutes - until granola is golden brown and apples are soft.

  1. Hmmmm, an interesting combo. Granola marries Apple Pie. The two tastes on their own are delicious, so I bet this Pie was yummy!

  2. I _am_ a fan of granola, and I thought the combination of warm granola, warm apples, and cool whip cream was fantastic. I can think of no better way to usher in this beautiful autumn weather.
