I saw a recipe for a caramel apple upsidedown cake one day and thought why not top a nice hot bowl of oatmeal with caramel & apples. A great idea was born. You can use whatever type of apple you prefer, we usually have Macs in the house. If you can get a HoneyCrisp apple it is fabulous. I prefer to eat this without milk. I will top it with a spoonful of vanilla yogurt some days. You could use table cream or half & half instead of heavy cream if you want to cut the fat content down. Ingredients:
1 apple, peeled, cored & finely diced |
1 teaspoon butter |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1 tablespoon heavy cream |
1 cup oatmeal |
2 cups water |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
salt, pinch |
Directions:
1. Peel, core & dice apple.
2. Saute in butter for 1 - 2 minutes.
3. Stir brown sugar into apples.
4. Stir in cream.
5. Continue cooking another minute.
6. Remove from heat while preparing oatmeal.
7. Bring water to boil, add oatmeal, salt, cinnamon & nutmeg.
8. Cook as directed for type of oatmeal you are using.
9. Divide oatmeal between 2 dishes, top with apple mixture.
10. Enjoy!
