Description
I'm on the hunt for the best granola recipe...I think this comes close...

Directions
16 servings
In a medium-sized bowl, dissolve sugar in water. Stir in dry milk and corn syrup and beat with electric mixer for about 2 minutes or until smooth and creamy. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat oven to 300F.
In a large bowl, combine oats, wheat flakes, wheat germ, almonds, coconut, cinnamon and salt. Add the milk mixture and oil and mix thoroughly. Spread on a baking sheet and bake, stirring occasionally, for 40 to 50 minutes, or until golden brown. Stir in raisins, prunes and apricots.
Bake for 5 minutes longer. Let cool and store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks.
