Yields 6 cups

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly spray a large, rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.

Toss together the oats, apricots, almonds, sunflower seeds, coconut and raisins.

In a small pot, bring the honey, butter and brown sugar to a boil. Stir to blend and then remove from the heat and spoon the honey mixture over the fruit and nuts. Mix lightly.

Spread the granola on the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Bake for about 30 minutes, stirring once, until lightly golden brown.

Let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. Store the granola in an airtight container.
