To Die For Baked Apple Oatmeal (Lighter Version)

By couponpassport

I decided the original was just a tad too fattening and full of sugar, so I decided to try to lighten it up a bit. It was a success. I have made it twice now. It is great to mix up the night before and then place in the oven in the morning.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup oil (smart balance or vegetable oil)
• 1/4 cup white sugar
