3 c. regular rolled oats
1 c. coarsely shredded unpeeled apple
1/2 c. toasted wheat germ
1/4 c. honey
1/4 c. water
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla or 1/2 tsp. almond extract

In a large bowl combine oats, apple and wheat germ; mix well. In a small saucepan stir together honey, water and cinnamon. Heat to boiling; remove from heat. Stir in vanilla or almond extract. Pour over oat mixture; mix well. Spray a 15 x 10 baking pan and spread oat mixture evenly in pan.

Bake in a 325°F oven about 45 minutes or until brown, stirring occasionally. Spread onto foil to cool. To store, place cooled granola in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
