It has been a year since I tried to eat more oatmeal. I admit that I hated it at first, but now I rather like it. It took about 2 to 3 months for me to acclimate to the taste and texture, but I can attest that if you persevere you can train yourself to like something! Today's fresh apple oatmeal is proof, proof that I'm still going strong. I was often making blueberry-maple oatmeal, but I recently I made a bowl of hearty oatmeal filled with fresh apples. This recipe is very, very good, with a wink and a nod to the flavors of your favorite Apple cobbler, only better for you. It's naturally sweetened with real maple syrup and apple cider, and it's a winner!
I don't use specific measurements, I just do things to taste.
Here is how I made it today:
-Scant half cup quick oats
-milk to cover the oats
Combine in a microwave safe large cereal bowl, and cook in microwave for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until oats have absorbed the milk and become fluffy.
-One quarter of a fresh apple, diced small
-a pinch of salt
-a pat of butter
-sprinkle of cinnamon
-A splash of apple cider, perhaps 2 tablespoons
-real maple syrup for drizzling
Add the remainder of the ingredients to your bowl and microwave for 30 seconds more.
Enjoy!
