I'm so sorry, I wanted to love this recipe, but I think it needs some major tweaking on the ingredient amounts. I was only able to justify three stars because the fixes to make this a great recipe are very simple, and don't require using any additional ingredients. I chose this recipe because I love apples and oatmeal, but I didn't look closely at the amounts of sugar and vanilla until I was in the middle of making this. I knew that 2 1/2 cups of sugars was way too much right off the bat (that would be too much even if I wasn't adding presweetened apple pie filling too), so I only added one cup of the brown sugar and no white sugar. I have an insane sweet tooth, so it's rare that anything is too sweet for me, but this definitely was (even with the reduced amount of sugar). I also found the amount of vanilla as written to be much too overpowering. I was tasting vanilla extract instead of appley oatmeal with the essence of vanilla. I definitely want to try this again, but next time I will only add 1 tsp of vanilla and 1/4 cup of brown sugar. I think I would love this with different amounts of sugar and vanilla, but as written, it just doesn't work for me. No disrespect to the chef, but I think that a lot of people who might like trying this type of recipe are going to pass this one over because of the amount of sugar in it. Thanks for posting, though.
