Almond Apple Thank You

Tempting, right?

But first, a major Thank You, for all of the wonderful comments on my post yesterday. A good cry can do wonders, as can pouring your heart out to amazing readers. Thank You from the bottom of my heart.

I have an amazingly easy, yet delicious and clean dessert recipe for the wonderful Eat Clean Live Green readers. Inspired by Morgan’s baked apple, I made what I am now calling Almond-Apple-Crisp-Sauce.

Nature’s Path sent me samples of a few of their cereals and bars. I’m excited to try them out, and when I saw Morgan’s recipe this morning, I knew what I’d use the Pumpkin Flax Granola for.

The nutritional information isn’t bad – I never rarely eat plain granola with milk, so I usually only use a few tbsp at a time. So at 50-100 calories as a mix-in ingredient, not bad at all.

The ingredient list is kind of long (11 ingredients) but it’s full of good things like rolled oats and pumpkin seeds.

To be honest though, I’m not sure why ingredients like oat syrup solids, rice bran extract or brown rice flour are necessary. I don’t know what they add to the granola… other than make it seem more processed. But they are complex carbohydrate complications, so I’m not too worried about it.

And it tasted awesome!

Back to the recipe, did I mention it was easy? Because it’s so easy. Less than two minutes, start to finish!
