Apple And Oat Breakfast Mix - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. quick cooking oatmeal
1 1/2 c. chopped, dried apples
2/3 c. chopped pecans
1/4 c. brown sugar, packed
1 tsp. cinnamon

Preparation

To dry apples:
Select any tart, firm-textured apple (Granny Smith, Jonathan or McIntosh).
Wash, peel, core and cut into 1/4 to 1/2-inch slices or rings.
Pretreat by dipping in ascorbic acid mixture.
Dry at 130\u00b0 to 135\u00b0 until pliable, preferably in a food dehydrator.
I use the oven; it works well.
I place fruit on a cookie sheet.
