Quaker Warm & Crunchy Granola Review

This is my second Quaker Campaign from BzzAgent to test out. You can't say no to Quaker, everything taste so awesome every time, can't go wrong that's for sure. You are able to pick one of the three favors above to test out. I picked the Apple Cinnamon.

There is 8 packets (1.69 oz) in each box. I added 2 packets for 1 bowl of granola. I don't know about you, but I personally love granola! The box says to add 1/4 cup of milk for 1 packet, so double that for 2 packets. I just poured milk into the bowl to be honest with you. Then you put it in the microwave for on HIGH for 25 seconds. Easy Peasy. This tasted amazing, not to hard, I definally have to go back with the coupons and get the rest of them! You can never go wrong with Quaker.
Each serving has as much fiber and whole grains as a serving of original Quaker instant oatmeal.
Ingredients
Granola (whole grain rolled oats, whole grain rolled wheat, sugar, brown rice crisps [whole grain brown rice, sugar, barley malt, salt], canola oil, whey, corn starch, polydextrose, molasses, nonfat dry milk, whey protein concentrate, natural flavor, honey, sodium bicarbonate, salt, dried coconut, cinnamon, sunflower oil), almonds, dried cranberries, sugar, glycerine, oat flour, sunflower oil. Contains wheat, almond, coconut and milk ingredients.

The best part about this campaign was getting (3) $2.00 OFF coupons.
They had they for $2.99 at Food Lion, which I got a box for 99 cents you cant beat that!
I received a products from a BzzAgent to test out & review. These are 100% my thoughts about this product. I was in no way paid to review this products.

Mini Apple Pie Recipe

Ingredients
8 cups of apples (8 medium)
12 tablespoons of flour
1 1/2c of sugar
4 heaping teaspoons of cinnamon
1/4-1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg (depending on how much you like nutmeg…you could also leave it out)
4 tablespoons of chilled butter cut into 24 equal portions.
two boxes of Pillsbury pie crusts (four chilled NOT frozen crusts)

Directions
- Start by cutting up eight cups of apples into small 1/2in bits.
- Mix the apples with flour, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl.
- Make sure you stir everything around getting the apples nice and coated.
- Unroll your first pie crust and cut several circles out. Continue this until you have enough crusts.
- You may use a wide mouth mason jar ring which works perfectly.
- Line each cup of your muffin tin with a tiny pie crust.
- You can then gently fill the crusts with your apple mixture and push the crusts down the rest of the way.
-You should be able to fill until slightly mounded.
- Then take your equally divided butter and put a dab on each pie.
- Cover as desired with left over dough.
- Brush with melted butter and bake at 400 for 18 to 22 minutes.
