• Yield: 5 cups

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup sliced almonds
• 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup dried cherries

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease a 15-by-10-inch jellyroll pan and set aside.
   
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the butter and honey until well combined. In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon.
   
3. Toss together the oats and almonds and spread evenly on the jellyroll pan. Drizzle the butter mixture on top, then sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar. Bake for 15 minutes.
   
4. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the coconut. Return to the oven and bake 7 minutes longer. Remove from the oven and stir in the cherries. Cool completely, stirring occasionally. The granola will crisp as it cools. Store in an airtight container.
