So easy! DELISIOUS! I'm rather a food critic and give this 5 stars for ease of preparation, taste, texture and flavor! I prepared the granola in a nonstick skillet, perfect! Just don't overcook. The lemon juice just adds a nice extra level of flavor to the filling. I even used Orange Juice once since I had no lemons, very good as well. I think I will replace my "oven method' of making granola...this was not only just as tasty, but so simple and less time. Just a great summer recipe that makes the cook look great! :- D ENJOY
