Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 500 ml (2 cups) milk
Spiced stewed apples
- 250 ml (1 cup) apple juice
- 1 cinnamon stick
- ¼ nutmeg, grated
- 1 tsp allspice
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 apples, peeled, cored, cut into 1.5 cm slices
Instructions
To make the spiced apples, combine the juice, spices and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the apples and cook for 10 minutes or until soft but still holding their shape. Transfer the apples to a bowl and discard the cinnamon stick, then continue to cook the syrup in the pan until it has reduced a little and is slightly thickened. Pour the syrup over the apples in the bowl.
To make the porridge, place the rolled oats and milk in a saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until the oats are cooked through and the mixture is a nice thick consistency, with the milk all creamy.
Place bowl and put some apples and syrup on top.
