    Amish Fruit-Filled Oatmeal Squares

    Published: Feb 23, 2017 · Updated: Feb 23, 2017 by Kevin Williams | Leave a Comment

    A popular after-school snack in Amish kitchens

    By Kevin Williams

    This dessert is wonderful, kind of - as the name implies - an oatmealy, fruity square snack.  Now, if you are an Amish cookbook you could simply walk to your canning room and choose between home-canned blueberries, peaches, strawberries, apples, or any other fruit. This dessert can be modified to use whatever fruit you desire and that is what makes it so versatile and delicious!  While chocolate, in my opinion, is the gold-standard for desserts, this type of dessert is a close, close second.

    You can substitute the apple pie filling with any kind

    At about the 20 minute mark the oatmeal topping on this dessert really begins to brown, so if you don't want it quite that brown, bake it for 15, but if you like your super crisp (I'm one of those people), go a little bit longer to 25 minutes.  A very rich, tasty dessert, enjoy!
