Shelly's Homemade Granola

4 c. rolled oats
1 c. whole almonds
1 c. pecan pieces
1/2 c. wheat germ
1/2 c. shredded coconut
4 Tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 c. vegetable or olive oil
1/3 c. good honey
1/3 c. apple juice or apple cider
1 c. dried cranberries

Heat oven to 350ยบ. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, nuts, wheat germ, coconut, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Whisk the oil, honey, and apple juice in a small bowl.

Pour the liquid mixture over the oat mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until all the oats and nuts are coated. Spread onto a large sheet pan. Bake, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until the mixture turns a nice, even golden brown, around 20-30 minutes, depending on your oven.

Remove granola from the oven and allow to cool completely, stirring occasionally. Add cranberries. Store cooled granola in an airtight container.
