Reggie! Love your idea for fruit with granola. I have done it with apple juice in lieu of milk. We used to make all our granola but got out of it - maybe it was that 50 pound batch?? I think it was the recipe in Diet for a Small Planet but you can easily make your own however you like it - with lots of almonds and raisins. Just do not burn it!

I do not bother with apple sauce. Just stew the unpeeled apples and - YUM! There was that day, 50 years ago, a friend and I spent ALL day making apple sauce, Foley food mill and all. The kids were outside playing; the door was locked! When the husbands came home from work, everything in the kitchen was covered with apple sauce. We ate out that evening! But we had enough for the winter. Stewed apples work just fine - in the porridge or just straight.
