Toasted Oatmeal w/dried fruit

Toasted Oatmeal

Large can whole rolled oats (40-something oz)
1 cup apple juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Pour the apple juice into a small saucepan, add the maple syrup, cinnamon and vanilla. Heat.

Dump the entire can of oats into a very large baking pan sprayed with cooking spray. Drizzle the hot apple juice over the oats. Stir well, place in the oven to toast, stirring every 10 minutes or so until the oats are browned and completely dry.

Remove from the oven, add dried fruit as desired (raisins, cranberries, raspberries, etc.) When cool, store in an air tight container. Serve with milk or apple juice.
