APPLE-CINNAMON OATMEAL MIX

Apple-Cinnamon Oatmeal Mix image

Apple cinnamon oatmeal is a breakfast staple at our house. It's a warm nutritious start to the day that keeps us going all morning. We used to buy the oatmeal mixes, but we think our homemade version is better! Feel free to substitute raisins or other dried fruit for the apples. -Lynne Van Wagenen, Salt Lake City, Utah
