Apple Pie Granola

Granola is easy to make, delicious and super versatile.  By versatile, I mean that it's a good way to clean out your pantry if that's something you need to do.  You need a bunch of oats, sugar and fat (in almost any form) and add ins.  Nuts, seeds, dried fruit.  Again, almost any form.

Who knew Granola was so easy?

Lots of people I suppose. I used to think that making granola meant making a huge batch. Then I read a blog post by one of my culinary heroes, who read it somewhere else.
Today I finally got around to trying it myself. Here's what I did;
I melted about 2 tbsp of butter in my cast iron skillet and added about 2 tbsp honey. Did I measure? No.
Then I threw in 2 handfuls of rolled oats and stirred the mixture around over medium heat for a couple of minutes, then decided to toss in some hazelnuts (a small handful) and cinnamon-just a little shake.
When it cooled I tossed in some dried mixed berries and some mixed seeds and called it good.
