1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet with sides or coat it with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine oats, sunflower-seeds and salt. Drizzle with apple-juice concentrate, maple syrup and oil; toss until evenly moistened. Spread on prepared baking sheet.
3. Bake granola for 30 to 3 minutes, stirring every five minutes, until golden and crisp. Remove from oven and transfer to a bowl. Toss with dried apples, raisins and dried cranberries. Cool completely. (The granola will keep in a tightly sealed container for up to one week or in the freezer for two months.)

I got the recipe from Betty Alexander, a member of one of the Bed and Breakfast Clubs we belong to. She served it in February of 1999, and it was great!
