   • Spread the filberts on a rimmed baking sheet, and the almonds on another.
   • Bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-8 minutes, or until very lightly browned, shaking the pans occasionally.

2. Cool and Chop Nuts:

   • Let the nuts cool.
   • Rub filberts in your hands to loosen as much of the brown exterior as possible, then blow or fan off the chaff.
   • Coarsely chop filberts and almonds. It’s best to use a hand chopper rather than a food processor to avoid turning the nuts into butter.

3. Mix Ingredients:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped nuts with oats, wheat germ, dried currants, chopped dried apricots, and brown sugar.
   • Blend everything together until well combined.

4. Storage:

   • Store the Swiss-style cereal in a tightly closed container at room temperature.

5. Serving:

   • Serve the cereal in bowls with milk or cream.
   • Optionally, top with fresh fruit if desired.
   • Alternatively, pack it up to take camping or backpacking for a nutritious energy boost on-the-go!
