Ingredients

  • 2 cups or milk half and half
  • 1/2 cup packed, divided brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon plus some to dot the top butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons quick cooking oats

  • 1 cup peeled chopped apple
  • 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
  • 1/4 cup chopped, plus 2 tablespoons pecans

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Grease a medium casserole dish.

Combine the half and half or milk, 1/4 cup brown sugar, butter and salt in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat. Add 1 cup oats to a casserole dish and stir in the milk mixture, 2 tablespoons cinnamon, apples, apricots, 1/4 cup pecans, raisins and cherries. Cook’s Note: If the casserole seems dry, add milk to moisten.

Top with Cinnamon Oat Nut Topping and dot with butter. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve.
