Alton Brown's Granola

I made this recipe but used only 2 T brown sugar (less the 1/4 cup). David likes this amount of sweetness.
I used unsweetened coconut and browned it by itself while I mixed up the other ingredients, then added it at the end after the other stuff had baked. I didn't want it to burn, and one review implied that type of coconut would.

Cost:
1 cup cashews (assuming 3 c per lb of $5.50/lb raw cashew pieces from TJs): $1.83
1 cup slivered almonds (using Aldi package with 1.5 cups, 2.99): $2.00
3 oz maple syrup (using aldi maple syrup, 12.5 oz for 5.50?): $1.375
3 cups oats...
etc.

This is not cheap stuff.
