- 1/4 cup unpacked brown sugar

Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300°F.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the unpacked brown sugar, peanut butter, unsweetened applesauce, coconut oil, agave nectar or maple syrup, brown rice syrup, and ground cinnamon. Stir well. Bring the mixture to a boil and then simmer on low, stirring frequently.
Step 3
In a very large mixing bowl, mix together the diced dried pineapple, diced dried apricots, dried cranberries, optional slivered almonds, sunflower seeds, ground flax, chia seeds, shredded coconut, Old Fashion Oatmeal, and rolled mixed oats.
Step 4
Pour the warm wet mixture over the top of the dry mixture and stir well. The mixture will be very thick and hard to stir, but continue stirring until everything is thoroughly combined.
Step 5
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper or a non-stick mat. Bake in the oven. Remove the pan from the oven every 15 minutes and give the granola a good stir to ensure even baking.
Step 6
Allow the granola to cool on the pan before serving. The granola will get harder as it cools.
Step 7
Serve and enjoy.
