Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1 cup water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 large apple
- 1 tablespoon butter (or coconut oil for vegan option)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (or maple syrup or honey)
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons raisins or dried cranberries (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, water, and salt. Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer.
Lower the heat and cook the oats for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they reach a creamy consistency. Turn off the heat and cover the pot to keep warm.
While the oats are cooking, prepare the apple topping. Core and thinly slice the apple into small wedges or chunks.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the apple slices to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon over the apples and stir to coat them evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the apples become tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
To serve, divide the cooked porridge between two bowls. Top each bowl with the caramelized apples.
Optional: Add chopped nuts, raisins, or dried cranberries on top for extra flavor and texture.
Serve warm and enjoy your comforting bowl of porridge with apples!
