For those that found the cinnamon overwhelming that is because the recipe is wrong. It should be 1 tablespoon for the oatmeal and a teaspoon for the toping. This should help. I did not like the dried apricots in this meal. I thought it was too chewy, but I liked all the other ingredients. I used a package of mixed raisins and I think this worked. It is way better than plain old oatmeal. Also, instead of 2 cups of milk, they used 1 1/2 on the show, not sure if this makes a difference

The amount of dried fruits and overwhelming cinnamon dominated the dish making the oatmeal's presence almost an after thought. I wanted a creamier texture but this was just too dense. Sorry, Paula. This will not be one of my best dishes.
