1. 1Preheat oven to 300F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2Combine honey, maple syrup, applesauce, and coconut oil in a medium-sized saucepan. Bring this mixture to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring often. Once the mixture is a little thicker, remove from heat and add vanilla extract.
3. 3Combine oats, almonds, cinnamon, allspice, and salt in a large bowl.
4. 4Pour the honey/maple/applesauce mixture over the oat mixture. Stir thoroughly to evenly coat oat mixture with the applesauce mixture.
5. 5Spread everything out evenly on your baking sheet.
6. 6Bake for about 45 minutes. Give it a stir every 10 minutes and keep a close eye on it toward the end of the 45 minutes. The granola should be browned and crispy.
7. 7Remove from oven and mix in the dried apples and currants. Cool completely and store in a large, airtight container.
