Ingredients for Apple Harvest Oatmeal

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Quick Cooking Oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped apple (Honeycrisp or Fuji recommended)
  • Raisins
  • Brown Sugar
  • Cinnamon

How to Make Apple Harvest Oatmeal

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy) and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup chopped apple (Honeycrisp or Fuji recommended), 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until oats are cooked through and the desired consistency is reached, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 2-3 minutes to allow the oatmeal to thicken further.
  5. Serve warm. Optional toppings include: a drizzle of maple syrup, chopped pecans or walnuts, a sprinkle of extra cinnamon, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
