Granola from Susan Gleason......by Koni Smith

Granola from Susan Gleason

14 cups of oats (my mom suggests using 7 quick and 7 old fashioned)
2 cups walnuts
1 cup sesame seeds
1 cup sunflower seeds
2 cups wheat germ
2 cups coconut
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup applesauce
1 1/2 cup honey
1 cup oil
box of raisins
craisins

Mix together the dry ingredients, then wet, then mix together by hand. Cook in two shallow baking pans at 225 F until light brown. Put one pan on each shelf. Every half hour, stir granola and switch the pan on the top shelf with the pan on the bottom shelf. Cook for 2 hours. After cooking is done, stir in raisins and craisins if desired. Let cool. (If you like it more crunchy, leave pans in the oven while the oven is cooling. I did that this time and it was a little too done for me because I like it chewy instead of crunchy, but but Benjamin likes it crunchy.)
