Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds, and shredded coconut.
Add cinnamon and salt, stirring until well mixed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir until the dry ingredients are completely coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then stir the granola to ensure even cooking.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The granola will become crispier as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and chopped dried apricots.
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
