A cozy and comforting Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Porridge made with thick-cut rolled oats simmered in almond milk and sweetened condensed milk, infused with warm apple pie spice. Topped with buttery sautéed apples, toasted nuts, and optional crumble or granola for added texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Oatmeal

  • 1 cup thick-cut rolled oats, organic
  • 3 cups almond milk (or whole milk, plant-based milk, or water)
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk (reduce to 1/4 cup for less sweetness)
  • 2–3 tablespoons pure maple syrup (substitute with organic cane sugar or brown sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 teaspoons apple pie spice
  • Pinch of sea salt

Sauteed Apple Topping

  • 1 organic apple, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or salted butter, omit salt in recipe)
  • 1/4 cup organic brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Toppings (Optional)

  • Toasted walnuts or pecans
  • Sprinkle of apple pie spice
  • Crumble topping (see blog post for recipe)
  • Granola

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oatmeal base: In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and almond milk over medium-high heat. Stir frequently until everything is well mixed and bring the mixture to a boil.
  2. Simmer the oatmeal: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low to maintain a simmer. Continue cooking for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Add condensed milk: At the 4-5 minute mark, stir in the sweetened condensed milk to add sweetness and creaminess. Continue to simmer until the oats become thick, swollen, and creamy, with a bit more than half of the liquid remaining.
  4. Flavor the oatmeal: Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and apple pie spice. Let it simmer for another 1-2 minutes to integrate the flavors, then remove from heat.
  5. Make the sautéed apple topping: Heat a medium (10-inch) skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the brown sugar, apple pie spice, and vanilla extract, stirring until combined and bubbling for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Sauté the apples: Add the sliced apples to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the butter and sugar mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes until apples are tender and the sauce is thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  7. Serve: Spoon the oatmeal into serving bowls. Top each with the sautéed apples, toasted nuts, a sprinkle of apple pie spice, and, if desired, crumble topping or granola for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Adjust the thickness of the oatmeal by varying the amount of liquid: use less milk for thicker oatmeal, or more for a thinner consistency.
  • Apple pie spice can be made at home by combining ground cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves.
  • Choose sweet-tart apple varieties like Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Gala for best flavor balance.
  • Use toasted walnuts or pecans to add a rich, nutty crunch to the dish.
  • The crumble topping adds additional texture and sweetness; refer to the blog post for the detailed recipe.
  • Maple syrup, brown sugar, or organic cane sugar can be interchanged based on sweetness preference and availability.
