Thank you! I've been looking for a recipe to make the sort of muesli I buy in the supermarket. This one is quite close, unlike the others I've looked at, and it tastes very nice. I followed the recipe pretty closely this time, only using dried apple instead of apricot. (And I completely forgot about the sunflower seeds which I have!) I wondered about the wheat germ, and it is a strong flavor in this muesli. I know it's important from the nutritional aspect, but may try decreasing it a little next time. All in all, though, I'm very pleased with this recipe and very grateful to you for sharing it with us.
