Healthy Fall Harvast Granola!

Recipe for Healthy Fall Harvast Granola

6 C Old Fashioned Oats - not quick cooking
1 C sliced or chopped unsalted almonds(walnuts or pecans)
1/2 C roasted Pepitos (green pumpkin seed)
1/2-2/3 C Honey
3Tbsp Olive oil
1 Heaping tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla extract
12 Chopped dried Apricots
1/2 C raisins
1/2 C dried cranberries
1/4 C dried blueberries


Mix Oats, Pepitos, nuts, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice together in a bowl and set aside. Mix Honey, Olive oil, and vanilla together in a small bowl. Combine the honey mixture with the oat mixture. Pour on a sprayed cookie sheet and bake in a 35o degree oven for about ten minutes- till the granola is lightly browned. Remove sheet from oven and stir and let sit until granola is golden.If granola is not cooked enough, return to oven for a few minute but it will brown and burn quickly so watch it. If the granola needs to be sweeter you can drizzle honey across granola on cookie sheet. Allow to cool.
Pour into a tupperware container when cool. Add chopped fruit and mix well. Cover with airtight lid.
