Crunchy Granola with Dried Asian Pears

Created for our 2026 Spring Recipe Contest, this homemade granola gets a naturally sweet boost from dried Subarashii Kudamono Asian Pears.

Rolled oats, nuts and seeds create plenty of satisfying crunch, while maple syrup, honey and apple butter add just enough sweetness. Enjoy it with yogurt, milk or simply by the handful.

  7. Return to the oven for 1 more minute.
