Recipe Share: Baked Apple...casserole?



Yes, I know this isn't my picture, and ahem*, I'm working on it! Every stinkin' time I make this, I try to remember to take a picture of it for the blog, and every time there is almost none left...when I remember. Anyway.
What you need to know: This is a mix between baked apples, baked oatmeal, and apple crisp...with fruit. Yeah. I'll try to remember to publish a photo when I make it again, you work on making this crowd pleaser. This dish is great because it: 1) makes your house smell good 2) is pretty darn healthy 3) it's easy peasy 4) Who doesn't love apples in the Fall?

This recipe was adapted from The New Better Homes and Garden Cook Book.

Ingredients:
4-6 cooking apples (I used Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, and Granny Smith...because I like them)
1/2 cup+ raisins
2 tblsp brown sugar (or sucanat, or honey)
1 tblsp cinnamin
1 tblsp nutmeg
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 cup thick oats
1/3 cup slivered or chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
1/2 cup chopped dates (or other dried fruit)
whip cream (optional)
carmel sauce (optional)

Core and chop apples, leaving the skin on. Place apples in a casserole dish, I use a 9X13, as I've usually made this item for at least 8+ people. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Pour apple juice into the bottom of the pan, throughout. Bake apples at 350 for about 45 minutes, or until apples are tender. If your oven generally runs hotter, you may want to check on them after 30, to see if you need a bit more juice. Serve warm and with whip cream + carmel sauce! Enjoy.

First, I found your blog through DPP 2011 (it's so much fun isn't it?) Second, the name of your blog has me humming one of my favorite 80's songs ever which makes me happy, so thank you :-) And third, this recipe sounds so yummy and I love that it's gluten free (our son is autistic and he's gf.)
Happy weekend!

Home School Activities: Board Games We Love

My children have recently become enthralled in the world of board games. I was never a board game player. Sure, I remember long summer hours (days? it seemed like it..) spent around a Monopoly board, but I was never one to suggest to get out the cards, or a game. As my children have grown and they are now able to do activities with me, I started noticing that they really took to puzzles (when done all together) and the one or two board games I happened to have kept in the storage room. They were always asking to play Candy Land and so I figured I should branch off a bit. Over the course of the last year, I have found GREAT games, even ones that I love to play alongside them. The amount of 'teaching' they have gotten through games is jaw-dropping. Counting, team-playing, math related patterning, are just some of the skills I've watched develop. I asked before Christmas on facebook what my friends and their own kids loved and I was thrilled with the response. We have found ov...

Home School Resources: Links we Love

Source: ladyanndeborja.tumblr.com via Sarah on Pinterest Today I'm just sharing a list of my favorite go-to resources for home schooling. It's a list of where I find games, books, crafts, and fresh inspiration. Also included are articles I've loved about home schooling. One of my favorite websites about homeschooling, updated daily, is Simple Homeschool . It's a shoot off branch of SimpleKids & SimpleMoms, and they often have great giveaways, advice, and have concise and interesting topics. A friend recently guided me to World Book Online to find the general requirements of each grade. At the curriculum fair I went to in April, I remembered two vendors that I want to revisit if they return. One was Hepner's Legacy and the other was Miller's Pads and Papers (don't be fooled by the poor websites, they have great products at good prices). TED Talks . Go. Watch. Now. All of them. Awesome. Even if home schooling is a laughable topic to you, you're ...

Lukka's Birthday Interview // 17

17! You're FINALLY 17! You can drive independently, and you have read the manual, watched professional drivers and gleaned tips from others about this test that you've been dreaming about for years. You were given a car by a friend of ours, cleaned it to perfection, fixed it up in places, and have driven your sister and friends all over for the past week in near-unbridled joy. I am so happy for you (and I'd be lying if I wasn't happy for me, too)! You are such a mature and kind-hearted young man. You have big plans and are taking the steps to proactively execute them. You are sweet to your sister even if you'd deny it in front of your friends, and your relationship with her has come full-circle back to being as close as you two were in your littlest years.  You have so many goals and you work hard to achieve them! You prioritize what's important to you, and are willing to cut the rest. Although I sometimes wonder how you will remember to get to appointments with...
