Pumpkin Spice Granola

Autumn-up your Granola!  A bit of pumpkin puree and some warm Pumpkin Pie Spice does the trick!  Making your own pumpkin Pie spice is easy and you likely have most of the necessary spices.  I like Martha Stewart’s recipe.  I made some last year, and am using it here.  But you can buy pre-made Pumpkin Pie Spice in the spice aisle at the Grocery, too!
