Apple Pie Oatmeal

In keeping with my last post, I wanted to have dessert for breakfast again this morning. I'm not a fan of dessert but if I'm going to have it, I want pie. Apple pie is one of my very favorites. Here I've added applesauce and pie spices to make oatmeal a dessert for breakfast. The kids were a little unsure because, it was oatmeal, but they all seemed to like it once they tasted it. Carrasa on the other hand loved it. Thank goodness someone likes my cooking!


1 3/4 cup water
1 cup quick oats
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup applesauce
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp butter

In a medium saucepan boil water. Add oats and reduce heat. Stir in vanilla, applesauce, ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon. Return to a simmer. Add sugar and stir well until melted. Melt butter into oatmeal right before serving. Makes 4 cups.
