Applesauce Granola with Walnuts, Sesame and Flax

Definitely one of the healthier granolas I have made, however the spices did not come thru and the flavor would have benefited from a bit more honey or perhaps a substitution of maple syrup. I just felt these flavors fell a little flat. I have made other low sugar granolas, often using maple syrup and more spice, which I prefer. The texture was good and I liked the addition of sesame and flax. This was a perfectly acceptable granola for adding crunch to my morning fruit and yogurt, but not great as a stand alone or add milk granola.
The author includes a recipe for applesauce that may make a difference in the results, but I used an unsweetened grocery store brand.
