3 c quick cooking or old fashioned oats

1/2 c canned or fresh fruit - drained well if canned and diced (i like to use peaches or apricots)

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees

***Using half fresh or canned fruit and half dried allows the dry fruit to absorb some of the juice and moisture of the fresh or canned.
