1. Heat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, stir together the rolled spelt flakes, sweetened flaked coconut and kosher salt.

3. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the honey, vegetable oil and vanilla extract, stirring, for about 1 minute until smooth and pourable.

4. Pour the warm honey mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.

5. Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

6. Bake for 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the granola is golden brown.

7. Let the granola cool completely on the pan, about 15 minutes, until it turns crisp.

8. Stir in the small-diced dried mango and the dried papaya, dried pineapple, or a combination of both, then store in an airtight container.
