Maple-Walnut Granola with Dried CranberriesTina Rupp

Egg whites replace the usual oil or butter.

This recipe makes a lot of granola, but that's just fine because there are so many things you can do with it.

1. For a breakfast parfait
Layer thawed frozen berries, vanilla yogurt, and granola in a tall glass. Drizzle with honey.
2. As a topping for apple pie
Instead of streusel, sprinkle granola over the apples during the last five minutes of the pie's baking time.
3. For trail mix
Just add M&Ms or white-chocolate chips, and you're ready for a hike.
