Apple N' Oats Pudding

Got up this morning at 5 to make sure my daughter got some of this....it was DELICIOUS. I got the recipe idea off of Grocery Cart Challenge. Put it into Weight Watchers recipe builder and came out with 3 points based on the things I used...not bad for breakfast. I used Promise light for the butter and I used one medium Spy apple, fat free milk, and no cream on top...it was just fine without.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients
2 cups nonfat milk
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon reduced fat margarine or light butter
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 medium baking apple (peeled, cored, and diced)
1 cup rolled oat (not quick oats)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon cream (optional)

Directions
1Preheat oven to 350. Lightly coat a 1 quart baking dish with oil spray.

2Combine the milk, sugar, margarine or butter, cinnamon, and salt in a 2 quart saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, over high heat for 4 minutes to scald the milk.

3Add the apple and the oats. Continue cooking on high for 1 minuted. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.

4Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes.

5Remove from the oven, stir thoroughly. Sprinkle the top with nutmeg. Return to the oven and bake for 15 more minutes.

6Serve warm with cream, if desired.

My Favorite Things

Around my birthday in November, I finally indulged on a new slow cooker. I have been extremely unhappy with the one I have as it would burn food and just seemed to not heat evenly. It was a well known brand too...which made me wonder why I was having such problems. Every time I would cook with it, I would crab and moan that I needed a new one....WELL I FOUND THE PERFECT ONE!!!!! For about the same price or cheaper (depending if you find it on sale), you have three slow cooker sizes in one, stores easily away and is extremely great at its cooking. The thing I think that makes the difference is the small hole in the top of the glass lid to let some steam out...sometimes I think it just gets too hot...water would spit out from around the lid on my last slow cooker.

I just love this thing. I have used two of the three sizes, but am looking forward to making some sort of dip with the smallest some day. I would highly recommend this item. I found mine at Kohls on sale for in the 30-40 dollar range...normally some places charge up to 60. Yummmmmm, I can smell my pork and sauerkraut cooking in it now.
