The last cranberry recipe I'll share for Cranberry Craving Week is for cranberry apple granola bars. I changed the original recipe by cutting the sugar and honey in half and 86ing the coconut. I think they're still really sweet, so I may skip the brown sugar completely next time. I'd also like to add wheat germ and flax. Isn't granola great? It's the perfect thing to experiment with and change around until you have it the way you like it.
