Making your own granola at home doesn't have to be hard. Try this subtly sweet, healthy version!

Recipe from Can It, Bottle It, Smoke It by Karen Solomon/Ten Speed Press, 2011.

Ingredients

• 3 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
• 1/2 cup neutral vegetable oil
• 1 cup chopped dried apples
• 1/3 cup candied fennel seed
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• Pinch of black pepper
• 2/3 cup honey

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• In a cold cast-iron skillet over medium heat, combine the oats with 3 tablespoons of the vegetable oil, stir to coat the oats thoroughly with oil, and toast until fragrant and dry, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. (If you don’t have a cast-iron skillet, any heavy skillet will do.)
• Once the oats are toasted, add the remaining oil, the apple, fennel seed, salt, pepper, and honey to the pan and stir well to combine.
• If you’re not using a cast-iron or other oven-safe skillet, transfer the mixture to a baking sheet. Put the skillet or baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, stirring and scraping from the bottom every 10 minutes.
• The granola will form small clumps and brown as it bakes. It’s delicious with milk right out of the oven.
