Fruit Recipes

Yield: Serves 12

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 6 to 8 apples, peeled and cored
  • Topping:
  • 1 cup butter
  • 3 cups oats
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the topping ingredients in a bowl until the butter is thoroughly incorporated and the mixture is the consistency of fine meal. Set aside.

Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.

Variation: Substitute blueberries for half the apples.

Speaking strictly as a 3rd generation chef, this recipe is good but lacks real taste. Certainly the cook time should be increased to fully cook the apples and ad more "crispiness" to the crust. I suggest a tablespoon of sweet sherry be added to the apples. – Reviewed by Dima Jamison

Dima is absolutly right...additional fruits and cooking time make this a fun breakfast for everyone. Play with it and this will become a holiday tradition for those cool winter mornings where time is a plenty and hunger builds with the delightful aroma. – Reviewed by Robert Vincent

This is an excellent old fashioned recipe. I would, however, use a little less sugar. Everyone I shared it with truly enjoyed it. Pati – Reviewed by Patrica Brooks

We use honey instead of brown sugar to sweeten the apples. I also like adding a cup of finely chopped walnuts or pecans to the topping. The topping freezes nicely, so you can make it in large batches, and store in 1 or 1.5-cup lots for future use. – Anonymous Review

I did enjoy this recipe. I found that it was a bit greasy. I would cut down on the 1 cup of butter though. – Anonymous Review

My son and I made this together, as well as a big mess, but it tasted great! – Anonymous Review

This always reminds me of Christmas! It's warm and sweet and simply delicious. I adore it! – Reviewed by Deanna Ranneklev
