How to Make Baked Pennsylvania Dutch Oatmeal

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In an oven-safe casserole dish, combine 4 cups of water, 2 cups of milk, 4 cups of rolled oats, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
3. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb some liquid.
4. Stir in 1 cup of dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, or a mix), 1/2 cup of fresh fruit (berries, apples, or peaches, chopped), 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 cup of brown sugar or maple syrup (adjust to your sweetness preference).
5. Cover the casserole dish with a lid or aluminum foil.
6. Bake for 45 minutes.
7. Remove the cover and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set.
8. Serve hot. Top each serving with 1-2 tablespoons of warmed cream and 1 tablespoon of butter (optional). Stir in to taste.
9. Makes 6 servings.
