This creation was born of a desire for peach cobbler and no fresh peaches and no way to get any right then. {smiles}
so –use what you have!
[great for mid-winter when fresh fruit is not readily available…or affordable.]
Preheat oven to 375*.
1 can of sliced peaches [in natural juices or light syrup], spread out in a 9×13 pan & cover with 1/2 [or so] cup of rolled oats [not the quick cook kind]
2-3 very ripe apples sliced thinly [about 16 slices per apple for me]; layer over the peaches and oatmeal.
Sprinkle your own mixture of cinnamon and sugar… [I like to make my own mixture so it can be more cinnamony and less sugary than the store-bought].
And then for a extra special holiday flavor I sprinkle about 1 -1-1/2 tsp allspice on it.
For a topping I have used several different things:
Store bought cresent rolls: self-explanatory
My favorite was pie dough.
And have also used a streusel type dough, but that’s a LOT of oatmeal.
Cover with your desired [or available] dough
Bake at 375 for about 30 minutes …or until juices are bubbly.
Allow to cool at least 20 min. [yeah right!]
and consume.
My latest addition was about 1 cup of frozen blueberries sprinkled on before the dough topping. If you have a child that is fond of brightly colored foods… it makes the WHOLE oatmeal part very purple. {smiles} It was VERY yum.
And if you like it more fruity-use 2 cans of peaches [but drain 1 of the juice] or 1 can of peaches and 1 can of apricots or pears.
Serving options include: warm, ala mode [vanilla or REAL strawberry-YUM], whipped cream, with other fresh berries.
Awesome recipe idea! Thank you! I envy John eating all your cooking.
