*Apple Peel and Peanut Butter Oatmeal

This isn't a pie, but it makes use of the byproducts of one.  

Ingredients:

For overnight soaking:

Peels and core bits (remove stems and seeds) of a pie's worth of apples

1T lemon juice

Enough water to cover the apple bits

For breakfast:

The peel mixture

2 cup water

1 cup old fashioned oats (quick works too)

1/4 cup wheat germ

2T peanut butter

Proceedure:

While pie is baking:

(1) Chop the apple peel into tiny bits, remove the stems and seeds from the cores.  Place in a container, add lemon juice and just enough water to cover.  Refridgerate overnight.

The next morning:

(2) Combine peel mixture and 2 cups of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer about 10min.  

(3) Stir in oats and wheat germ, then increase heat a bit.  Cook according to oat package directions.  Stir frequently to prevent burning to the bottom.

(4) Turn off heat and stir in peanut butter. 

And, yes, when we open the Fuzzy Wups BBB&B (bed, breakfast, bakery and brewery), this will be on the menu in the fall, possibly with fresh ground cinnamon and nutmeg.  Suggestions are welcome.
