Instructions
Preheat oven to 300.
In a large bowl combine oats, nuts, seeds, spices and salt. Toss.
In a small sauce pan heat together sugar, applesauce, syrup, honey and oil. Just heat until combined and sugar has melted. Pour over oat mixture and toss and toss until everything is coated and sticky.
Spread over two large cookie sheets, spread evenly in thin even layers. Place in the oven and bake for 40 or so minutes. Turn and mix up the granola every 10 or 15 minutes. The granola is done when the mixture is evenly toasted and golden brown. I could take longer than 40 minutes, Sometimes up to an hour. It will starting to dry out, but will not reach fully crunchiness until it has cooled completely.
