Baked Oatmeal

Some of Mom and Dad’s good friends, Kim and Darin Caldwell, gave out a book of their favorite recipes for Christmas one year. This recipe was from that book. It is a recipe they got from the Parish House Inn in Ypsilanti, Michigan.

Mom always loved oatmeal! This was a good way to make the oatmeal “fancy”! Sometimes, we would use craisins instead of dried cherries (or omit completely for those adverse to dried fruits).

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups dry oats

  • 4 cups milk

  • 1/2 tsp almond flavoring

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds

  • 1/2 cup dried cherries

  • 1 large apple, unpeeled and grated

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400 F. Spray a 3 qt. baking dish (9x13) with oil. Combine all ingredients in a bowl, then transfer to baking dish. Sprinkle with additional almonds. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes. Serve hot with milk.
