Stir up a no-bake bar that's rich in high-fibre cereal and apples.

3 cups (750 mL) FIBRE 1* Honey Clusters* cereal

1/4 cup (50 mL) toasted sunflower seeds

1/3 cup (75 mL) honey

1/4 cup (50 mL) brown sugar

1 cup (250 mL) dried apple slices, coarsely chopped

1/2 tsp (2 mL) cinnamon

1/2 cup (125 mL) peanut butter

Butter bottom and sides of 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan, or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Place cereal in large resealable food storage plastic bag; seal bag and slightly crush with rolling pin or meat mallet or slightly crush in food processor.
In large bowl, mix cereal and sunflower nuts; set aside.
In 3-qt (3 L) saucepan, heat honey, brown sugar, apples and cinnamon just to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in peanut butter. Pour over cereal mixture; stir gently until evenly coated.
Press mixture evenly into pan with back of wooden spoon. Refrigerate about 1 hour or until set. For bars, cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. Store covered at room temperature.

Kitchen Tip: Did You know? Honey will slide easily out of the measuring cup if you first spray the cup with non-stick cooking spray.
