Baked Oatmeal

This recipe comes from the Porter sister LeAnne Richards! We had it at our Sister's Retreat this year. She made it with blueberries. Yum yum. I made it with Granny Smith apples and frozen raspberries. I know, the recipe says FRESH fruit, but it was still a yummy combination. Oh yes, my neighbor saved me as I didn't have the applesauce like I thought I did and I used a Stage 2 container of pears instead. Worked just fine!
