Apple Squares
I made this tonight and we enjoyed it .. I doubled the recipe to bake in a 9 by 13 inch pan added around one and a half cups of a granny smith apple however I did not double the sugar I added approx 1 1/4 cups total and the end result was plenty sweet.. I also made a quick glaze .. Very good thanks for an easy treat :-)

Grandpa Hubbard's Oatmeal
Oh my this was the best oatmeal I have ever had!! Here's what I did instead of mixing in the individual bowls I made it all in the pot I used reg milk as I didn't have creamer although I will try the flavored kind next time I did add some apples that I chopped and cooked with two tablespoons butter and brown sugar and a dash of cinnamon oh I also added in a spoon of peanut better and a teaspoon of vanilla so good was on table in less than ten minutes I have never made homemade oatmeal just usually do the small packets but never again this was simple and can be altered easily for different flavors the family loved it!! My husband agrees this is the best oatmeal ever thank you for shareing the recipe:)
