Fruity Oatmeal

Directions

1. 1
   Mix the water and frozen apple juice in a small sauce pan, and bring it to a boil.
2. 2
   Add in the 1/2 cup of oatmeal ( I use one-minute ).
3. 3
   Remove from heat after it's cooked according to directions on box.
4. 4
   Let it stand for a few minutes to thicken and cool a little, if you like it the way I do.
5. 5
   Add in the cinnamon and pecans; and also stir as you're adding in the pieces of fruit, so they don't stick together.
6. 6
   I prefer to wait till the oatmeal is cool before adding in the fruit, to preserve more vitamins; plus I like it thick and cold, like cookie dough.
7. 7
   I also like saving some for an afternoon snack later in the day, straight from the icebox without heating it.
8. 8
   This is great little snack for kids too!
