You can eat oatmeal with an apple both in the morning and in the afternoon and even in the evening (just remember that the last meal should be no later than 3 hours before bedtime). It has a very unusual taste, thanks to the addition of apple juice. By the way, in our case it is better to use not freshly squeezed, but packaged, otherwise the milk will curdle during the boiling process. Excellent, for example, juice with pulp, intended for baby food, is suitable. You can adjust the amount of sugar in porridge to taste, and completely refuse cream, especially if you are afraid to get better. By the way, an enzyme has recently been found in oatmeal that helps break down carbohydrates. That is, despite the considerable amount of carbohydrates in the cereal itself, they will not affect the waist circumference in any way, and oatmeal with an apple will bring you exceptionally pleasant taste sensations, and undeniable benefits to the body.

How to cook Oatmeal with apple

Step 1

Pour oatmeal for porridge into a saucepan. Pour in apple juice and milk. Stir. Add sugar. Stir and place the saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Stirring constantly with a spatula or spoon, bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook the porridge for about 5 minutes. Stir constantly so it doesn't burn.

Step 3

Remove the pot of oatmeal from the stove. Cover and leave in a warm place for 5-7 minutes. You can cover the top with a thick towel. During this time, the oatmeal should thicken.

Step 4

Wash and peel apples. Cut the pulp into thin slices. Add them to hot oatmeal along with cinnamon and cream. Mix quickly and serve.

Oatmeal with apple - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use water instead of apple juice and milk?

Yes, you can substitute water for the apple juice and milk. However, the flavor and creaminess of the oatmeal will be different. Consider adding a touch more sugar or a pat of butter for richness if using only water.

I don't have apples. What other fruits can I use?

Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), bananas, peaches, or pears would all be delicious substitutes for apples. Adjust the amount based on your preference.

How can I make this oatmeal vegan?

To make this recipe vegan, use plant-based milk (like almond, soy, or oat milk) instead of dairy milk and omit the cream at the end. You can use a plant-based cream alternative or simply add a dollop of your favorite plant-based yogurt.

Can I prepare this oatmeal ahead of time?

Yes, you can cook the oatmeal ahead of time. Let it cool completely, then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a little more liquid (milk or water) if needed to achieve your desired consistency. Add the fresh apples just before serving.

How can I adjust the recipe for a single serving?

Simply halve or divide all the ingredients by the number of servings the original recipe makes. For example, if the recipe is for 2 servings, halve all the listed amounts to make a single portion.

Can I use steel-cut oats in this recipe?

While you could use steel-cut oats, the cooking time will be significantly longer. You'll need to simmer them for about 20-30 minutes, or until they reach your desired consistency. You may also need to add more liquid.

Is there a way to make this more friendly for people with diabetes?

Yes, use unsweetened apple juice and reduce or eliminate the added sugar. Choose a low-sugar milk alternative like unsweetened almond milk. Focus on adding healthy fats and protein such as nuts or seeds to minimize blood sugar spikes.

How long will the prepared oatmeal last in the fridge?

Cooked oatmeal will generally last for up to 3 days in the refrigerator, stored in an airtight container. Ensure it cools down before refrigerating.
