~ Directions ~

Preheat oven to 350° and grease a small ramekin.

In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the cinnamon oatmeal batter. In a separate bowl, mix the ingredients for the apple pie filling.

Scoop half of the cinnamon batter into the ramekin. Next, add the apple pie mixture. Then pour the remaining oats mixture on top, being sure to fully cover the apples. Top with a few pecan halves or chopped pecans.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until oatmeal is set and firm. Let cool slightly before chowing down.
