• Wash and cut the Fresh Apricots into thin slices (I cut each apricots in 8, but you can also cube them).

• Transfer into a baking dish (see note 1) and set aside.
• Place the Rolled Oats, Brown Sugar, Ground Cinnamon and Ground Ginger in a large mixing bowl.
• Cut the soft Butter into small cubes and add them to the Oats. Use your fingers to rub the butter into the Oats to create chunks of dough (see note 2). Cover the Apricots with the crumble.
• Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling under is bubbling. Leave to cool down for about 10 minutes, and serve warm (see note 3).

BAKED APRICOT CRUMBLE OATMEAL

Steps:

• The night before you wish to serve this dish, combine all of the oatmeal ingredient together in a air-tight container, mix well, and allow to chill in the refrigerator overnight.
• The next morning, preheat the oven to 375. Lightly grease a pie pan or square baking dish. Set aside.
• Combine the apricots with the lemon juice, stevia, and cornstarch. Mix until fully incorporated. Pour into the prepared pie pan/baking dish. Remove the oatmeal mixture that has been soaking overnight. Pour the oatmeal over the apricot mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes until oatmeal is mostly firm and the fruit mixture is bubbling. Remove from oven and let sit for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

APRICOT OAT CAKES

Steps:

• Thoroughly grind rolled oats in food processor or blender. Mix with flour and baking powder.
• In a separate bowl, "cream" together yogurt, dry sweetner, honey and vanilla. In yet another bowl, lightly beat egg white until it gets bubbly but not stiff. Fold egg white into wet ingredients. Add dried fruit.
• Combine wet and dry ingredients. The dough gets pretty stiff and is hard to mix. You may even have to dive in there with your hands and squish it together. Add water if the mixture is too dry. Form into 12 patties.
• Bake at 325 degrees F for 15 minutes on a non-stick cookie sheet. Cool completely and store in refrigerator. These keep well and may be frozen.
