Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup dried apple slices, chopped into bite-sized pieces

1/2 cup raw almonds, chopped

1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

1 cup mini pretzels

1/2 cup cinnamon cereal (like cinnamon toast crunch)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

A pinch of salt

Optional: 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (for a sweet touch)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to toast the oats and nuts for extra flavor.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped dried apple slices, chopped almonds, walnuts, mini pretzels, cinnamon cereal, and a pinch of salt.

      Prepare the Sweet Mixture: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey (or maple syrup) and ground cinnamon. Stir until warm and well mixed, then remove from heat.

        Combine: Drizzle the warm honey mixture over the dry ingredients while mixing to ensure even coating. Make sure everything is well-combined.

          Spread on a Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the mixture evenly across the sheet.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to avoid burning, until everything is golden and toasty.

              Add Chocolate (Optional): Once out of the oven and slightly cooled, if desired, stir in mini chocolate chips for an extra sweetness.

                Cool and Store: Allow the mix to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. This will help it remain crunchy.

                  Serve: Pack this trail mix in small bags or containers for a perfect on-the-go snack for kids!
