Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan (for apples)
  • Saucepan (for oatmeal)

Ingredients
  

Oatmeal Base

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 cups milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Apple Pie Filling

  • 2 medium apples Honeycrisp or Granny Smith recommended
  • 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 tablespoons water

Optional Toppings

  • chopped pecans or walnuts
  • additional cinnamon for sprinkling
  • maple syrup for drizzling
  • Greek yogurt
  • granola

Instructions
 

  • Wash, core, and dice your apples into small, bite-sized pieces (approximately ¼-inch cubes). If using Honeycrisp apples, you can leave the skin on; for Granny Smith, peeling is recommended.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter or coconut oil over medium heat. Add the diced apples and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
  • Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves over the apples, stirring to coat evenly.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of water to the apple mixture and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender but still hold their shape.
  • While the apples are simmering, prepare your oatmeal. In another saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, salt, and vanilla extract.
  • Bring the oatmeal mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the oats reach your preferred consistency.
  • Once both components are ready, swirl the maple syrup or honey into the oatmeal.
  • Divide the oatmeal between two bowls and top generously with the warm apple pie filling.
  • Add your choice of optional toppings such as chopped nuts, a sprinkle of cinnamon, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Notes

Substitutions:
  • Steel-cut oats can replace rolled oats (increase cooking time by 10 minutes)
  • Unsweetened applesauce can substitute for one of the apples
  • Monk fruit sweetener or stevia for a lower-sugar version
  • Almond or oat milk work beautifully for dairy-free options
  • Ground flaxseed can be added for extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids
Storage Tips:
Store leftover apple mixture and oatmeal separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors actually deepen overnight.
