Apple Filling Ingredients

1 sweet apple
1 teaspoon honey (optional)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
a dash of nutmeg
vegetable oil for cooking

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Oatmeal

Start by bringing 1 cup of plant-based milk and a pinch of salt to a boil in a saucepan.

Then, add 1/2 cup of rolled oats and stir well. Cook according to the package directions, typically about 20 minutes, or until the oats have absorbed the liquid and are tender.

Once cooked, remove from heat and cover to let it sit and steam for a few minutes.

Step 2

Cook the Apple Filling

While the oatmeal is resting, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of vegetable oil.

Chop 1 apple into small cubes and add it to the skillet with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg.

Sauté the mixture on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and fragrant.

Step 3

Serve and Enjoy

Once both the oatmeal and apple filling are ready, it’s time to assemble your breakfast. Start by placing the cooked oatmeal into a bowl, and top it generously with the spiced apple filling.

If desired, drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey on top for added sweetness.

This delightful oatmeal is perfect for a cozy breakfast, especially when paired with a cup of tea and your favorite candle for ambience. Enjoy!
