Apple Pie Porridge
A creamy Apple Pie Porridge for 2 that's like a guilt-free dessert for breakfast!
Servings: 2
Ingredients
Caramel Apple
- 1 Apple (Granny Smith) peeled, cored, quartered and sliced
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Demerara sugar or raw, course sugar
- 2 tsp Lemon juice
Crumble
- ½ cup Brown sugar
- ¾ cup Plain flour
- ½ cup Dessicated coconut
- ½ cup Butter (60g) melted
Porridge
- ⅔ cup Oats Traditional cut, not microwave oats
- ¼ tsp Apple Cake Spice or a combination of cinnamon and nutmeg
- 1½ cups MIlk I use low fat milk
- 1 tsp Maple Syrup to taste
Instructions
Caramel Apple
- In a frypan over medium-high heat, combine the butter, sugar and lemon juice and stir until it becomes a syrup
- Add the apple slices and stir occasionally for 3-5 minutes, until caramel and golden. Leave in pan until ready to use *see notes
Crumble
- Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F or 160°Fan
- Combine all of the crumble ingredients in a bowl, then turn onto a lined baking tray and break up the mixture
- Cook the crumble for 12 minutes, breaking up the mixture and moving it around halfway (after 6 minutes). This will ensure it bakes evenly.
- Serve the crumble warm, over your porridge, or make ahead and store it in an airtight jar for up to 2 weeks. *See notes
Porridge
- Place the oats in a small saucepan, mix in the spices, then add enough water to cover the oats. Set aside to soak for 5 minutes or so (you can soak them overnight, if you'd prefer)
- Add the milk, then place the saucepan over low-medium heat and stir gently but constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken (it will continue to thicken as it cools in the serving bowl).
- Once the porridge has thickened to your liking, pour into bowls and top with the caramel apple and crumble.
Notes
Caramel Apple:
- I make a larger quantity of Caramel Apple and keep it in the fridge for later. It can be used in cakes and desserts, or just kept for up to 1 week for porridge.
- This recipe makes much more crumble than you need for 2 serves, but will keep for 2 weeks in an airtight jar.
- You can sprinkle crumble over stewed fruit, yogurt or ice cream for texture and crunch.
