To Die For, Baked Apple Oatmeal

Baked Apple Oatmeal

 I just finished making this fabulous recipe this morning. Which for me is a milestone since I am not a morning person and do not typically make breakfast - and by typically I mean never. I saw Paula Deen make a similar recipe, but was unable to locate it online. A friend of hers was on the show, so I am assuming it is her recipe. I did find several recipes online for different versions and settled on this this one from Allrecipes. Ofcoarse I had to modify the recipe a little - honestly, I just can't help myself...I think I am compelled to not follow a recipe. Maybe this stems from my childhood where teachers would write, "Does not follow directions". Warning: if you are looking for a healthy recipe STOP here. This is full of sugar and oil, but boy is it good!
