2. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
3. Combine the oats, coconut, almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds and hemp seeds in a large bowl. Mix until combined and set aside.
4. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, maple syrup, olive oil, honey cinnamon, vanilla extract and apple pie spice. Whisk all the ingredients together until well combined. You should have a smooth, thick syrup like consistency.
5. Pour the brown sugar mixture over the oat mixture and stir it all together. I find a spatula works better than a spoon, so you can get to the bottom of the mixture and really get it all combined.
6. Spread the granola mixture on a parchment lined rimmed baking sheet and bake for 30-45 minutes. While baking, stir with a wooden spoon every 5-10 minutes, so the granola mixture bakes evenly.
7. The granola is done when it’s golden brown and toasty. Remove from oven and set the baking sheet on a rack to cool.
8. When the granola is cool add the dried cherries and store in an airtight container in your pantry.
