My twin girls can give me double trouble when I try to feed them breakfast. But whenever I make this recipe, they always have big helpings. They also like to help pick the apples from the trees in our own backyard.

1-1/3 cups quick-cooking oats
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 to 3 tablespoons raisins
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

In a saucepan, combine apple, apple juice, oats, cinnamon and salt. Bring to a boil; boil for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; stir in raisins, honey and vanilla. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.

I omitted the salt and cut the recipe in half. I really loved it! I didn't use a measuring spoon for the vanilla and may have used a bit much b/c I could really taste it but that's more user failure than a recipe fault most likely. Great way to get a warm breakfast and use all the fall apples!

If this recipe were a man, I'd marry it.
