Simple Recipes - Apple Pie Oatmeal (#SimpleSunday)

When fall arrives, it always gets me in the mood for warm comfort foods.  Problem is, some of those foods are packed with calories and fat.  I created a guiltless version of a classic favorite that tastes delicious, satisfies my sweet tooth and is nutritious all at the same time.  Who doesn’t love apple pie? Apple Pie Oatmeal is simple to prepare. 

You will need the following ingredients:

• ¼ cup dry Steel Cut Oatmeal (or quick oats if you want a faster preparation)
• 1 Honeycrisp Apple (if you have a favorite kind, substitute it)
• 1 tsp. Coconut Oil
• Powdered Cinnamon
• Light Milk
• Vermont Maple Syrup or Honey

Preparation:

1. Prepare the Steel Cut oats as directed.  I prepared with water.  Cooking time is approx 25-30 mins.  Quick oats are obviously quicker.
2. Heat a skillet and add coconut oil.
3. Cut apple into thin slices.
4. Once skillet is hot, add apples and sprinkle on cinnamon.  Let cook for approximately 10 minutes.  Flip apples to get a nice sear on both sides.
5. When the oats are close to done, add a splash (about ¼ cup) of milk to make oats a bit creamier.  Mix and let simmer.
6. Put oatmeal in a bowl, top with apples and add 1 tsp of Vermont maple syrup or honey.
7. Enjoy this guilt free version of Apple Pie!

I made this recipe with all organic ingredients, but you can prepare to your liking.
