1
Preheat the oven to 350˚.
2
Add the oil, maple syrup and butter to a 9x13-inch pan, and place in the oven as it heats to melt the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the vanilla and oats and stir well.
3
Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure the oats brown evenly.
4
When the oats are uniformly golden brown, add the pumpkin seeds and bake for 5 minutes more.
5
Turn the oven off and stir in the coconut. Return the pan to the oven for 5 minutes more, then remove and cool completely on a rack, stirring occasionally.
6
Add the dried apples and cherries when completely cool.
