    This was really yummy! I expected it to be sweeter at first, but...it was great just like it was! I didn't have enough cinnamon, though...so I sprinkled in some pumpkin pie spice to make up the difference. Hey, whatever works, right? I think 1 serving = .75 cup. - 1/31/11

    This was a nice warm dish to eat first thing in the morning. Took very little time to make, and it was nice to start off with 2 fruit servings so early. :) - 5/21/08

    I made this with enough oatmeal to serve 5, and I cut the cinnamon down to 1 tbsp. It still had too much cinnamon for my husband's taste. I've made apple oatmeal before without a "recipe" that was better. - 11/7/07

    Very quick, simple to make and it tasted good w/out the TONS of added "stuff" that you'd get from instant oatmeal. - 7/27/07
