Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1.5 cups milk
- 0.5 cups water
- 1 whole golden delicious apple
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Peel, core, and chop the golden delicious apple into small cubes.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped apple, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apple pieces are tender and caramelized.
Once the apples are done, transfer them to a small bowl and set aside.
In the same saucepan, add the rolled oats, milk, water, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Lower the heat to medium-low and let the oatmeal simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until it reaches your desired thickness.
Once the oatmeal is cooked, divide it between two bowls.
Top each bowl with the caramelized apples and, if desired, sprinkle with chopped nuts and drizzle with maple syrup or honey.
Serve warm and enjoy your Golden Delicious Oatmeal!
