Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large granny smith apple, finely chopped
3/4 cup dried cherries
3/4 cup pecans, chopped
1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 pinch ground cloves
3 cups milk (I use 2%)
6 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a 9x7 casserole dish (can use 9x9 dish or the ramekins) with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
In large bowl, combine first 7 ingredients. Stir well & pour evenly into prepared dish or ramekins. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, combine milk, brown sugar & butter to a boil. Watch closely, as it will foam up & boil over very quickly.
When the mixture boils, remove from heat & stir in the almond extract.
Pour boiling mixture over dry ingredients in casserole dish or ramekins. Stir gently to distribute evenly.
Bake uncovered in 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes or until the milk is absorbed & oats are tender. Timing will vary by a few minutes depending on the size of your dish or ramekins.
Can be served with milk, butter or syrup, but my family prefers to eat it plain.

Number Of Ingredients 1

1 dash 1½ cups old-fashioned oats

Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square casserole dish (or an 8-inch-long oval casserole dish) with nonstick spray. 2. In a large bowl, mix the oats with the brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, almonds and cherries. Make a well in the center. 3. Pour the milk, egg and vanilla into the center and then mix to combine. Pour the whole thing into the prepared casserole dish and dot the surface with the butter. (The oatmeal can be made through this step and held in the refrigerator overnight.) 4. Bake until the oatmeal has absorbed all the liquid and the top is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.
