Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the matzo farfel, slivered almonds, chopped walnuts, unsweetened coconut flakes, and cinnamon. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and allow the granola to cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crisp as it cools.
Once cooled, mix in the dried cranberries and raisins.
Store the granola in an airtight container for up to one week. Enjoy it as a cereal with milk, as a topping for yogurt, or straight out of the container for a healthy snack!
