    🍎 How to Make Caramelized Apples

    First, you want to pick the right type of apples, preferably a variety that will soften and get tender after cooking.

    I recommend using Golden Delicious, Honeycrisp, or even Cortland. Do not go with Pink Lady or Granny Smith unless you want a crispy texture.

    Salted Caramel Apple Pie Oatmeal

    Start by cooking diced apples in vegan butter until tender and golden brown.

    Next, for the caramel, add coconut sugar, maple syrup, and a good pinch of salt.

    Let the coconut sugar melt and coat the apples. Finally, deglaze the pan with water to make a syrup, and stir in vanilla extract for extra flavor.

    🥣 Oatmeal

    Now let's talk about the base: the oats.

    Here, we are using rolled oats for a chewy texture, almond milk, cinnamon, and apple sauce to add a natural sweetness as well as an extra apple flavor!

    Simmer the oats for 5-8 minutes, or until tender.

    Depending on how you like your oatmeal, feel free to adjust the cooking time. Personally I don't like the oats too soupy so I cook them for about 8 minutes.

    Finally, divide the oats between serving bowls, and top with the saucy caramel apples!

    📔 Tips

    • Use old fashioned rolled oats: Do not use quick oats, as they would get soggy and too soupy. You can use steel-cut oats but cooking time and amount of liquid will need to be adjusted.
    • Microwave option: If you prefer to cook the oatmeal in the microwave, use the same ratio of ingredients and microwave uncovered, on high for about 2 minutes.
    • Serve hot: This oatmeal is best served immediately, while the apples are still warm and saucy.

    The juicy, and a bit salty, caramelized apples make this oatmeal the most comforting breakfast to have during Fall or Winter!

    Ingredients
     
     

    Caramelized Apples

    • 2 apples (Golden delicious, Honeycrisp, or Cortland)
    • 1 teaspoon butter
    • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
    • 3 tablespoon coconut sugar
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 3 tablespoon water
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

    Oatmeal

    • 1 cup rolled oats
    • ½ cup applesauce
    • 1 cup almond milk
    • ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
    • a pinch of salt
    • optional: toasted slivered almonds for topping

    Instructions
     

    Caramelized Apples

    • Peel the apples, remove the core and dice into thick cubes.
    • Heat the butter in a non-stick pan over medium-heat. Once melted, add the diced apples and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until apples are tender and slightly golden brown. In the meantime, prepare the oatmeal.
    • Next, add the coconut sugar, maple syrup, and salt, and stir to coat the apples with the sugar. Cook for another 2 minutes, or until the coconut sugar has melted and the maple syrup has slightly reduced.
    • Deglaze the skillet with the 3 tablespoon of water and stir in the vanilla extract. Cook for another 15-30 seconds, or until the syrup has thickened a little bit. If apples have absorbed all of the syrup, add an extra 2 tablespoons of water.
    • Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.

    Oatmeal

    • In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, apple sauce, almond milk, cinnamon and salt.
    • Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, and let simmer uncovered for 5-7 minutes. Stir regularly to make sure oats don't stick to the bottom of the pan.
    • Divide between 3 serving bowls and top with the warm caramelized apples! Feel free to add a pinch of extra cinnamon and toasted slivered almonds as well.
    • This oatmeal is best served immediately but will keep for up to 2 days in the refrigerator. It can be enjoyed as a cold breakfast, or reheated on the stove (you may have to add a little bit more almond milk).
