Cactus Apple Surprise ~ World of Warcraft

You will need:

And six pretty apples.

6 medium apples

1 cup orange juice
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup crushed walnuts, toasted
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup honey

Remove a 1/2-inch slice from tops of the apples. 
With a melon baller or a spoon remove core, stopping about 1/2 inch from the bottom of the apple. 

In a medium bowl combine oats, brown sugar, almonds, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. 

Stir in softened butter until combined. 
Arrange the prepared apples in a baking dish 

Fill and top apples with oat mixture. 

When ready to bake, pour remaining orange juice around the apples and cover with foil. 

Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 50 minutes. 

Check them at 30 minutes and again at 45. 
I baked them for 50 minutes and I baked them too long. 
You can see they started falling apart.


Remove foil; bake for 10 to 15 minutes more or until tender. 

Cool about 30 minutes. 
Transfer to a platter or plates and drizzle with honey. 
Server hot with ice cream or cold with vanilla yogurt.

 I had neither, I am a sad panda.

You will need:

3 c water


1 c milk
1 1/2 c rolled oats
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 apples peeled, cored and cubed
(any fruit can be substituted like peaches, mangoes, raisins, cranberries or bananas)




1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 eggs


4 tsp butter
3 tsp honey or brown sugar

In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil. 

Combine milk, oats, apples and cinnamon; quickly stir into the boiling water. 
Add fruit that needs to be softened now. Like apples or peaches.

Return the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the mixture is the desired thickness.

Remove from heat and add eggs one at a time and vanilla. 
Do not worry about the eggs. The hot porridge will cook them completely. 
Add fruit that does not need to be softened now. Like raisins, dried cranberries, or nuts.

Yum!

Divide the porridge between 4 bowls. 
Top each one with a teaspoon of butter and drizzle with honey or brown sugar.

It is not mandatory to have a superhero coffee mug...
