Ingredients
1-1
1/2 cups dried fruit, such as dates, figs and apricots
1/2
cup honey or maple syrup
1/2
cup sunflower seeds, soaked overnight
2
cups almonds, soaked overnight
3
cups pecans, soaked overnight
1
cup pumpkin seeds, soaked overnight
Directions
1.
In a food processor, place the chopped apple, dried fruit, sweetener, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and 1/4 cup of the sunflower seeds and grind until completely smooth. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.
2.
Drain the nuts and seeds and place in the food processor. Coarsely chop the nuts with a few quick pulses. Add them to the bowl with the apple mixture, add the cranberries and stir well. Spread the granola onto Teflex-lined dehydrator sheets and dehydrate at 100 degrees for 8-12 hours. Flip the granola over onto the screens and peel away the Teflex. Continue dehydrating for another 8-12 hours, or until it is crunchy. Break apart into pieces, let cool, and store in an airtight container.
