- 6 ounces dried cranberries
directions
- In your slow-cooker [crockpot], stir together the oats, almonds, coconut, and wheat germ.
- In a seperate microwaveable bowl, mix honey, apple juice concentrate, br. sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Microwave for one minute.
- Pour the liquid into the slow cooker and stir until evenly coated.
- Cook for one hour on high, UNCOVERED.
- Then cook four hours on low, COVERED.
- Periodically, stir the granola. It will be a nice toasted-brown color.
- When done, stir in the cranberries. PLEASE, DO NOT ADD THE CRANBERRIES EARLIER! if they cook in the crockpot with everything else, it will burn and became a huge mess. [I'm speaking from experience here.]
- Store in an airtight container.
- It should yield approximately ten 1/2C servings.
