"This is a nice and simple recipe, the most time consuming thing is preparing the apples. The topping is nice and crunchy. Different fruits, such as dried cranberries, raisins, rhubarb or any type of berry could be added for a unique taste."

  1. OK, the flavor was great, however I agree with some of the other posts. Too much butter, or maybe it just needs a bit of flour or cornstarch tossed with the apples. Mine is swimming in liquid.
     
  2. Good basic recipe but way too much butter! I would half it. I did add raisins and used maple syrup instead of brown sugar. Still it was delicious and none was left to waste!
     
  3. I'm saving this recipe for whenever I need to use up granola! I am going to have to experiment, though, with less butter. I served this to guests. The adults ate it (no raving reviews, though), and all the kids passed up dessert when they saw it.
     
  4. This was excellent! I just used some leftover apples and granola that I had. I added some extra butter into the granola and some extra brown sugar on the apples. Perfect! Thanks for sharing!
     
  5. Delicious! Somehow ended up with 3 giant boxes of Harvest Crunch so am working my way through the granola recipes. Everyone liked this just as much as my signature apple crumble and it was so fast to make. I prepared it even more quickly by using one of those circular tools that core and cut the apples into wedges with one push. (Peel first or not - your choice.)

Tweaks

  1. The recipe is fantastic! The only thing I did different was add a table spoon of vanilla, 1/4 tsp of Almond extract and I used 3 cups of Canadian Maple Harvest crunch cereal that I broke down with the rolling pin, with these 3 small tweaks it makes this recipe amazing. I was forced to make it 2 days in a row this time because the fam ate it to fast the first time around.
