Homemade Granola

This granola (found in the Nelson cookbook) is great plain as a snack. It is also perfect to mix in some plain yogurt with fresh fruit for a healthy lunch. My boys even like to eat it with milk for breakfast. If you are into food storage, its made out of mostly items found in people's food storage.

3/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup apple juice
1/2 cup dry milk
1/3 cup honey
5 cups oats
2 tablespoons cinnamon (put less if you don't want an overwhelming cinnamon taste)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dry fruit (our favorite is craisins)

Heat oven to 375. In small saucepan, bring brown sugar, apple juice, dry milk and honey to a boil. In large bowl, mix oats, cinnamon, salt and dry fruit. Top with wet mixture and mix thoroughly. Spread on cookie sheet and bake 20-30 minutes stirring every 10 minutes. Cool and store in airtight container.
