Apple Cinnamon Granola

Please forgive me. I am about to give you the yummiest granola recipe I have ever created. For those who haven't made my granola recipes in the past, my granola is not "crunchy" like your typical "boxed/bagged" granola. It is warm, soft and oh-so-comforting in the belly.
After riding a FAST 20 miles on my road bike with the Open Road Group and Karel, followed be 35 miles (tempo) with just Karel, my aching muscles, the 40-degree temps, and a casual 1-mile Campy run were three perfect reasons to enjoy a little homemade granola with a big glass of skim milk, on Saturday Morning after my ride. Enjoy!
