Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (or a milk alternative)
- 1 apple (medium, diced)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
- 1 tablespoon caramel sauce (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Add the rolled oats, milk, and a pinch of salt to a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat while stirring occasionally and let it cook for 5-7 minutes until the oatmeal thickens.
In a separate small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced apple, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir to combine.
Cook the apples for 3-5 minutes until they soften and the sugar forms a light caramelized glaze. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Divide the cooked oatmeal between two bowls.
Top each bowl with the caramelized apples. Sprinkle with chopped nuts for some crunch if desired.
Drizzle caramel sauce over the top for an extra sweet touch, if you'd like.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Fast and Delicious Caramel Apple Oatmeal!
