Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, stir together the almonds, raisins, golden raisins, cranberries and apricots. Set aside.

In a Dutch oven over high heat, bring the water to a boil. Slowly whisk in the oats and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the cinnamon and salt. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 to 60 minutes according to the package instructions, adding the maple flakes during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Just before serving, stir in three-fourths of the almond-fruit mixture. Spoon the oatmeal into warmed bowls and top with the remaining almond-fruit mixture and warm maple syrup. Serve immediately. Serves 8.
