Preheat the oven to 170°C.

Mix the apple juice, ginger, honey, brown sugar and salt together until dissolved.
Combine the rolled oats, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and almonds in a large mixing bowl.
Add the ground cinnamon and mix through.
Stir in the apple juice syrup, and then the sunflower oil.

Spread half this mixture on a baking tin and bake turning over and redistributing the granola every 10 minutes during the baking process.
The object is to get it evenly golden without toasting too much in any one place.
Be careful not to overcook the granola; it will dry further as it cools.
The baking should take 20-25 minutes.
Repeat with the remaining half of the mixture.

Once its baked, allow to cool and mix together with the dried fruit. Store airtight.
