Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (or milk alternative)
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 whole apple (medium-sized, any sweet and firm variety)
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Peel and core the apple, then dice it into small cubes.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir well and cook for 5–7 minutes until the apples are softened and caramelized.
Remove half the caramelized apples and set them aside for topping.
To the saucepan with the remaining apples, add the rolled oats, milk, water, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for 5–7 minutes until the oats are creamy and have absorbed most of the liquid.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the oatmeal sit for 1–2 minutes to thicken.
Divide the oatmeal evenly into bowls. Top each portion with the reserved caramelized apples, a drizzle of caramel sauce, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy the comforting flavors of caramel apple porridge oatmeal.
