🍏 Oatmeal with Spiced Apples Recipe
Warm up your morning with this hearty and flavorful oatmeal, topped with sweet and spiced apples!
Ingredients:
For the oatmeal:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk or water
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
For the spiced apples:
- 2 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves (optional)
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions:
- Cook the oatmeal: In a medium saucepan, bring the milk or water to a boil. Stir in the rolled oats and salt. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until the oats are tender and the liquid is absorbed. Stir in the maple syrup or honey and vanilla extract if using. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the spiced apples: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves (if using). Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the sugar has caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Add the water and continue to cook until the mixture is syrupy, about 2 more minutes.
- Assemble: Divide the cooked oatmeal into bowls and top with the spiced apples. Serve warm.
