Apple-Cinnamon Granola

I think it's sort of fun to make your own from time to time. This one is great on ice cream or yogurt.

3 cups rolled oats
1 cup Cheerios
1/3 cup oat bran
1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. cardamom
2 Tbs. butter
1/3 cup applesauce
1/4 cup honey
2 Tbs. brown sugar
Cooking spray
1 cup chopped dried apple

1. Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl and stir well to combine.
2. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add applesauce, honey, and brown sugar to pan, and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
3. Pour applesauce mixture over oat mixture, stirring to coat. Spread mixture in an even layer on a jelly roll pan coated with cooking spray.
4. Bake at 250 for 1 1/2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. Allow to cool completely. Stir in chopped apple.
5. Store in an airtight container for one week.
