Fruity Oatmeal

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 1/2 cup oatmeal
• 1/2 cup of frozen apple juice
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 small diced apple
• 3 diced prunes
• 3 dehydrated dried apricots, diced
• 4 diced pecans
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Recipe

• 1 mix the water and frozen apple juice in a small sauce pan, and bring it to a boil.
• 2 add in the 1/2 cup of oatmeal ( i use one-minute ). remove from heat after it's cooked according to directions on box. let it stand for a few minutes to thicken and cool a little, if you like it the way i do.
• 3 add in the cinnamon and pecans; and also stir as you're adding in the pieces of fruit, so they don't stick together.
• 4 i prefer to wait till the oatmeal is cool before adding in the fruit, to preserve more vitamins; plus i like it thick and cold, like cookie dough. i also like saving some for an afternoon snack later in the day, straight from the icebox without heating it.
• 5 this is great little snack for kids too!
