the oatmeal, I made steel cut oats made with water and unsweetened almond milk, and a touch of cinnamon. The almond milk gives it a rich and creamy texture. Now, the star of the show really is the caramelized apples. I used a tart granny smith apple, with brown sugar, butter (obviously, it’s fancy right?), brandy (extra fancy), spices, and lots of lemon juice. The lemon juice brought a beautiful freshness, and added such a wonderful flavour and a little bit of tartness. My only regret, I didn’t make enough apples, they were so good!

Hope you all have a great day!

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk, soy, or water)
1/2 cup steel cut oats (or regular oats)*
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 apple, cored, peeled and sliced (I used granny smith)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 pinches nutmeg
1 scant tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons brandy or rum *see note
pinch of salt

Method

In a large saucepan, bring milk and water to a boil. Add the steel cut oats, and cinnamon, reduce heat to low, stirring occasionally until creamy and cooked through. (Alternatively, cook according to package directions)
In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat butter until melted, add the sliced apples and toss until coated with butter. Sprinkle with the sugar, cinnamon nutmeg, and stir. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, until the apples have softened. Add in the lemon juice, and brandy. Cook for an additional minute or two until the sauce is slightly reduced.
Spoon the warm apples over the oatmeal and serve.
