Apricot-Almond Granola

I like to have a batch of granola on hand during the hectic holidays. It makes a great portable snack with lots of fiber and is also good served on yogurt or reduced-fat ice cream.

Yield:

6 cups (serving size: 1/3 cup)

Ingredients

1. 2 3/4 cups regular oats
2. 1/2 cup slivered almonds
3. 1/2 cup dried cherries
4. 1/2 cup coarsely chopped dried apricots
5. 1/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
6. 1/3 cup golden raisins
7. 1/2 cup honey
8. 1/3 cup butter, melted

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Combine oats, almonds, and next 4 ingredients (through raisins) in a medium bowl. Combine honey and butter. Drizzle honey mixture over oat mixture; toss to coat. Spread mixture in a single layer onto a jelly-roll pan. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes; stir. Bake an additional 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely on pan. Break into pieces.
