Apple-Pecan Baked Oatmeal

‎08-24-2011 10:21 AM

/><br/> <br/> <br/> With fall just around the corner (where DID the summer go?)-this is a great recipe to use all of the wonderful fresh picked apples that will be hitting the farm stands. It makes a nice big pan and gives us breakfast for the whole week.<br/> <br/> What a treat this is. It sort of reminds me of an apple crisp, but it's soft. </div> <div> </div> <div>We used a plate when we took these photos so that the layers of oatmeal and fruit would show. When I serve this, I put the square in a bowl to heat up and serve it as I would a bowl of oatmeal.</div> <div> </div> <div>What I love the most about it is a small square fills you up and stays with you right through the morning-for me, right into the afternoon.</div> <div> </div> <div>The only thing I added to the recipe is some vanilla extract to enhance the flavor-and I was generous with the cinnamon too.</div> <div>I've made a lot of variations of this recipe since this first attempt-using everything from blueberries to strawberries (the strawberry one was my husband's favorite). The oatmeal topping is a blank canvas to showcase your favorite fruit as the base. There are so many possibilities using this basic oatmeal topping and I hope to try a whole lot more of them. </div> <div><br/> Carol<br/> <br/> <br/> <img src=
