Apple Pie Oatmeal Recipe
Creamy oatmeal with cinnamon spiced sautéed apples and toasted hazelnuts. A little maple syrup and it is the perfect fall breakfast recipe to cook up which happens to be healthy and simple to make.
Equipment
- Small sauce pot with lid
- Sauté pan with lid
- Rubber spatula
- Knife & chopping board
Ingredients
For the apples:
- 1 red apple
- 1/2 lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
For the oatmeal:
- 1/2 cup instant oats
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup milk
- Pinch of salt
Serving:
- More cinnamon
- 1/4 cup toasted hazelnuts
- Maple syrup
Instructions
To make the apples:
- Peel, core and dice the apples. Transfer to a sauté pan and place on low to medium heat.
- Add the lemon juice, vanilla, salt, cinnamon and water, cover and cook for 5 minutes - stirring every now and then or until softened.
To make the oatmeal:
- Add the oats into the sauce pot and top with water, milk, salt.
- Place on low heat and cook for 5 minutes or until bubbling and soft. If it is too thick add more liquid if it is too thin add 1 tbsp more oats and continue cooking.
Serving:
- Pour the oatmeal into the bowl, top with the sautéed apples, more cinnamon and toasted hazelnuts. Drizzle over the syrup and enjoy warm.
Notes
- I like cooking my oats on low heat with lid so it gets creamy and breaks down the oatmeal.
- Alternatively you can serve it with my apple pie syrup
- Add more liquid into the oatmeal if it is too thick, add 1 tbsp more oats into the oatmeal if it is too thin
