Ingredients

4 cups old fashioned oats (do not use instant or quick cooking)
1 cup chopped apples
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
pinch salt
4 cups water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chopped dates (3/4 cup if you like dates)

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Combine oats, walnuts and a pinch of salt in a bowl and mix well.
In a separate container, combine water and vanilla.
Combine all ingredients (except the dates) and stir gently.
Pour into a lightly oiled 8 x 8 inch dish.
Bake at 350°F for 30 to 60 minutes. Keep an eye on this after 30 minutes; the recipe said 60 minutes, but it was done before that.
When done, take out of oven, stir in the dates, and serve.
