Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and roughly chopped almonds.
In a smaller bowl or saucepan, mix together the apple puree, runny honey, soft light brown sugar, cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, and vegetable oil. Stir until well incorporated.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly to ensure all the oats and nuts are coated evenly.
Spread the granola mixture out onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, stirring the granola every 10 minutes to ensure it cooks evenly and doesn’t burn.
Once the granola is golden brown and fragrant, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet.
Once cooled, mix in the dried fruits and store the granola in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Serve with milk, yogurt, or enjoy as a snack!
