Ingredients
  

2 cups apple cereal (like Cinnamon Toast Crunch)

1 cup crispy rice cereal

1 cup roasted almonds, chopped

1 cup dried apple slices, chopped

1/2 cup mini pretzels

1/2 cup honey

3 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the apple cereal, crispy rice cereal, roasted almonds, chopped dried apple slices, and mini pretzels. Toss gently to combine.

      Prepare the Coating: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the honey, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and vanilla extract until well mixed and smooth.

        Combine: Pour the butter mixture over the dry cereal mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to stir until all the dry ingredients are well coated.

          Bake: Spread the mixture evenly onto the lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking.

            Cool and Store: Once golden and fragrant, remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet. Once cooled, break into pieces and store in an airtight container for up to one week.
