Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a food processor, combine 1 cup of the oats, 1/2 cup of the almonds, the pecans and 1/4 cup of the pepitas. Process until finely chopped and almost flour-like in consistency.
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
To the bowl, add the chia seeds, flax seeds, the remaining almonds, remaining oats and remaining pepitas.
Add the dates and the apple chips to the food processor. Process until finely chopped.
Transfer the apple & date mixture to the large bowl as well.
Add the cinnamon, nutmeg and salt to the large bowl and stir to mix everything together.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, extracts and honey.
Pour the liquid into the bowl with the granola ingredients and using a spatula, mix together until incorporated and the mixture becomes sticky.
Transfer the mixture to the baking dish pressing into the corner and pressing down firmly on the top.
Refrigerate overnight (or for a few hours) to firm up and then remove and slice.
