Caramel Apple Oatmeal
Creamy old-fashioned oats topped with cinnamon apples, toasted walnuts, and caramel drizzle.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 T. butter
- 2 Honey Crips or Granny Smith apples peeled and diced
- 1 T. light brown sugar
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 3/4 c. milk
- 1 c. old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/4 c. chopped toasted walnuts for sprinkling
- Caramel for drizzling
Instructions
- In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon, cook, stirring occasionally until soft and golden, about 5-6 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring milk to a boil. Stir in oats and salt, reduce heat to low and simmer until oats are tender and creamy, about 4-5 minutes.
- Place walnuts in a non-stick dry skillet over medium heat. Toast walnuts by stirring back and forth with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until they are fragrant and start to turn golden brown. (This happens very quickly, so keep an eye on it, you don’t want to walk away!) Immediately remove to a plate to cool.
- Serve oatmeal in bowls topped with cinnamon apples, toasted walnuts, a drizzle of caramel, and a splash of milk, stir and enjoy!
