Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Bread.
If you go to www.verybestbaking.com, they have tons of recipes. This is one of my recipes that I just love especially at this time of year. I would put the recipe here for you, but, I don't have a copy of it with me right now.
This bread is a quick bread that uses chunky applesauce and instant oatmeal. It is very moist and I am sure you will love it. It is great with Pumpkin Cream Cheese too.
PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE
8 oz Cream Cheese
8 oz canned Pumpkin
1 Tablespoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
Mix all together and serve.
Enjoy!!
**In reference to the apples you already have. Chop them up and use them. I have been known to make my own applesauce. Core, peel and chop your apples. Cook over low heat with sugar (To sweeten). Your apple sauce is done when the apples are fork tender.
