Note

Storage: This muesli is best served fresh. If prepared ahead, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Note that the apples may brown slightly; adding the lemon juice helps prevent this.

Substitutions: You can substitute water or orange juice for the skim milk. Other fruits such as bananas, berries, or dried cranberries can be added instead of or in addition to apples and raisins.

Variations: Feel free to customize with other nuts like walnuts or pecans, or seeds like chia or flaxseed for added nutrition.

Serving Suggestion: This makes about 6 cups total. It can be served with toast or muffins on the side.
