Scotman's Breakfast or Treat

I know this eating thing seems to be getting the best of me, but it has been cold and I have had a little time to come up with better ways to be more convivial. So....

I came across this idea somewhere, and it is really great. They call it Apple-Pecan Baked Oatmeal and well it is a wonderful way to enjoy your oatmeal and apples.

It only takes a few items...

Toast a cup of chopped pecans in a pan until they fill the kitchen with pecan fragrant. Peel and chop some 4 or 5 Granny Smith apples. Cut them into large chunks because after all this is a meal to carry you through the morning. Put the apples in the bottom of a baking dish and spread the pecans over the apples.

Combine 18 oz of rolled oats with three eggs, a cup of brown sugar, a cup of applesauce, three teaspoons of cinnamon, three teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice, four teaspoons of baking powder, a cup and quarter of water, a cup of milk and a quarter cup of butter. Stir all this together in a big bowl.

Then pour the mixture over the apples and pecans.

Cover it with some foil and bake for 30 minutes at 400 degrees in the oven, then uncover and bake for 15 more minutes. When it is golden brown take it out and enjoy.

In case you missed that last part...I said ENJOY!
