Homemade Granola (lowfat)

This is good stuff!!! I have made it a bunch of times and the whole family loves it either in milk like cereal or in yogurt! And it's good for you, too!

Granola
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup applesauce (no sugar added)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sunflower seeds (raw...I have used the roasted/salted kind and it was fine)
1 cup nuts (chopped or sliced) (I've used sliced almonds once and pecans, too)
1/3 cup milled flax seeds (optional...good for your brain, though!)
3/4-1 cup coconut (sweetened or not, either will work)
4 cups regular oats
1 cup dried fruit (blueberries are our favorite) (optional)

Mix oats, nuts, sunflower seeds, flax seeds and coconut in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl mix oil, water, brown sugar, honey, salt, and applesauce, Heat until just boiling ( I do it in the microwave, about 2 minutes or so) Pour over oats mixture. Spread in 1 large cookie sheet. and bake for 30-45 minutes at 325 degrees. During baking you need to take it out every 10 minutes and mix/stir it up to make sure it all browns evenly. You want it a light brown color. Cool completely and add dried fruit. Store in an airtight container.

Really, this is good and you can even double the recipe and make two pans. I'd love to hear if you make it and how you like it!!!
