    Amish Fruit-Filled Oatmeal Squares

    This dessert - Amish Fruit-Filled Oatmeal Squares - is wonderful, kind of - as the name implies - an oatmealy, fruity square snack.  Now, if you are an Amish cook you could simply walk to your canning room and choose between home-canned blueberries, peaches, strawberries, apples, or any other fruit.

    This Amish Fruit-Filled Oatmeal Squares 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

    This type of dessert represents classic Amish cooking and baking. The Amish - historically - have had pretty bare pantries, only stocking what is needed and necessary. Even today you won't necessarily find bags of Doritos in most Amish pantries. You'll have your baking basics: flour, butter, sugar, molasses, and a few other staples. And from those few staples a lot of desserts can be made, including this one! Most Amish cooks would have some sort of home-canned fruit-filling on hand

    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!
