Making Apple Granola Cups is straightforward and fun! Follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the honey (or maple syrup), applesauce, vanilla extract, and chopped apples. Mix thoroughly.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until all the oats are coated and evenly mixed.
5. Fill Muffin Tin: Evenly distribute the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, pressing down slightly to form cups.
6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
7. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cups cool in the tin for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Store: Once cool, store the granola cups in an airtight container for up to a week.

With these steps, you’ll create delicious Apple Granola Cups effortlessly!
