I'm a huge fan of apple anything and baked apples are one of my favorites. Make it quicker and easier by just slicing off the outside and throwing away your core.
This is a serve-one size (fairly large), but can be multiplied for however many people you want. Great with a glass of milk.
Ingredients:
1 apple, roughly diced
1 tsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp pecans (or walnuts, really your choice)
1/4 cup crumble mix (see below)
1 tbsp butter
Directions:
Lightly coat a small baking dish (like a custard cup) with butter. Toss apple with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts, and pour into dish. Melt butter and stir in with crumble mix, then pour over apples. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes or microwave on high for 5 (crust will not get crisp)
Crumble mix
1 cup instant oats
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp brown sugar

Granola
Having stumbled upon a pretty good recipe in Frontier Heritage Cookbook, I then proceeded to change almost everything about it because...well, I hate walnuts. The result lasted less than 24 hours as my husband, myself, and my dear friend Cathy munched blissfully away.
This recipe can be edited to suit your particular tastes: consider it a general guideline of delicious.
Homemade Granola Cereal
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups quick-cook oats (such as Quaker)
1 cup flaked or shredded coconut
1/2 cup slivered or sliced almonds, unsalted
1/4 cup flax seeds
3/4 cup butter (that's 1 1/2 sticks)
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup honey
1 tbsp plus 1 tsp (or 4 tsp) vanilla extract
Directions
Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and butter the foil well. Add oats, coconut, almonds, and flax seeds and spread evenly. Bake at 300 for 20 minutes, stirring several times. (if you have an oven that is hotter at the back than the front, you should turn the pan halfway through)
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, and honey over medium high heat for about 5 minutes or until bubbling. (Be careful! The bubbles come up quickly and will make an awful mess if they hit your stove). Remove from heat.
Turn up oven to 350. Add the butter mixture to the oat mixture and stir until thoroughly combine. Bake 10 minutes or until bubbly. (again, turning halfway through for hot ovens)
Let cool, then put into a plastic bag and seal tightly to last for up to a month.
