Decadent Oatmeal

Decadent Oatmeal.

I tried this one day when I had a bit of apple juice on hand. The
only fat is from the oatmeal proper. If memory serves, there's 1 gm
of fat per ounce of dry oatmeal. Feel free to substitute.

Two medium sized apples. I prefer Granny Smith or Pippins.
1-1/2 ounce dried apricot.
1-1/2 ounce dried raisin.
1 pint apple juice.
3 ounces slow-cooking oatmeal.
spices: Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Lemon Rind, [Allspice]

Core the apples, [peel if you insist] and chop.
Chop the dried apricot.
Combine the apples, apricot, raisins with the apple juice and heat to
boiling. Let simmer a minute, then add the oatmeal. Cook for 5 minutes,
then turn off the heat and cover for a couple of minutes. Serve over
or with sliced banana.
