Our apple tree has treated us to another glut of apples this autumn. The kids love apple chips as a snack so much, I thought it would be fun to make some breakfast granola with them.

• Mix together rolled oats, rolled oats flour, coconut oil, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and maple syrup.
• Tip the granola onto a large baking tray lined with a baking sheet. Spread a little as you would do with the top of a crumble. You do not want it too thin.
