I think it may need to be more syrupy than watery, as runny jam is typically syrupy. But these are all guesses. I may give apple granola a try in the fall, myself.<br /><br />As for this blog -- it gives me a lot of headaches. The feed doesn't update properly on other feed readers, but fine on some. The email always works, and bloglovin' seems to work for it. I was ready to chuck blogging entirely this past week, as I really don't have time to spare to spend on trying to fix the feed problems. I tried several fixes this past week, and still no luck on getting the feeds up to date. I've tried all the blogger recommended "fixes" as well as some non-blogger ones. I'm down to not knowing what else is possible, and not wanting to spend any more time on it. I'm sorry it's been a problem for you.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-15612993468583444242015-05-16T07:35:50.588-07:002015-05-16T07:35:50.588-07:00Hi Anne,

If you tried this with applesauce, you may...Hi YHF,<br />If you tried this with applesauce, you may need to cook it down some, and add a little extra sugar, to get it to an apple butter consistency. Applesauce or chopped apples may have too much water content for this particular recipe. But I'm sure it can be done. I make pumpkin granola in the fall, using canned pumpkin in the liquid, so applesauce will work, you just may need to add sugar, and cook down first.<br /><br />It's hard to imagine picking guava by the side of the road. That just sounds so luxurious! I'm glad you were able to have a plentiful supply to make jelly back then.<br /><br />If you make this granola, let me know how it goes. And if you try apples in some form, I'd be interested to hear your experiences.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-11309908507068398432015-05-15T13:17:58.462-07:002015-05-15T13:17:58.462-07:00Hi Kris,

I have been looking on the internet for exactly this...a tweaked granola recipe. Actually it started with my looking for homemade cold cereals, and granola seems a good alternative, but my husband said he's not crazy about it. I'm betting though that he'll love your "fruity" version. Too bad I don't have homemade jellies and jams. Long ago when guava was plentiful by the mountain roadside we would pick buckets and make jelly. Today, I don't see people picking as before and with the high prices of fruits at the store I don't think we'll turn those fruits to jellies. Maybe food processed fresh apples or applesauce would substitute. But I really like your idea of a fruity version. Also good idea about leaving the granola in the oven after baking to let the residual heat do the rest. I didn't like the long low temperature baking of other recipes.<br /><br />YHFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-31664248199266872912015-05-15T08:44:20.437-07:002015-05-15T08:44:20.437-07:00I usually avoid granola because I think most recip...I usually avoid granola because I think most recipes use a lot of fat in them, but this looks like it is low in fat and high in flavor.
