Ingredients
 

Spiced Apples

  • 2 large apples (preferably Honeycrisp), peeled, cored and sliced 1/4 inch thick (or diced)
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp water

Oatmeal

  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Toppings

  • cream
  • pure maple syrup
  • pecans or walnuts, lightly toasted and chopped
  • freshly grated nutmeg

Instructions
 

Apples

  • In a saucepan, combine the apples and spices. Add the butter and water.
  • Over medium heat, bring to a simmer. Cook the apples, stirring frequently, until the apples are softened and the liquid is thick and syrupy, about 10 minutes. If needed, add another splash of water as you cook the apples.
  • Scrape the apples into a bowl, and use the same saucepan to cook the oatmeal.

Oatmeal

  • In a saucepan, combine the oats, water, milk, maple syrup, spices and vanilla.
  • Cook the oatmeal over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oatmeal is thick and creamy.
  • Serve the oatmeal hot, topped with the apples. Garnish with chopped pecans or walnuts, a drizzle of cream and maple syrup, and freshly grated nutmeg.
