Apple Pumpkin Oatmeal

This apple pumpkin oatmeal has become a great option for us during the fall and winter season especially on the weekend. We are able to make a batch that typically feeds our family of three a big filling breakfast. Yes, this is acceptable to consume every day during the fall season. It’s even better as a dessert if you put a big scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on it while it’s still warm. You can also opt for Pepper Egg and Cheese Scramble if oatmeal isn’t your vibe.

Ingredients

  

• 2½ Cups Oats We used just plain rolled oats.
• 4 Cups Milk
• 1 Cup Pumpkin Puree
• 1 Tbsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
• 1 Tbsp Apple Pie Spice
• 4 Tbsp Brown Sugar
• 3 Tbsp Maple Syrup extra for a little drizzle on top.
• 2 Apples peeled and diced. Your choice, we use the Honeycrisp.

Instructions

 

• In your medium pot over high heat, combine the oats and milk. Bring the mixture to a slow boil, stirring often.
• Lower heat to medium, add diced apples, and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the oats soften, and the liquid thickens. *Cooking the apples in milk too long will cause them to break down faster. Remove from heat. You can add your apples a few minutes before removing from the heat for more intact apples.
• Stir in the pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice, apple pie spice, brown sugar and maple syrup until evenly distributed. Serve warm. You can add the apples here for a crunchier apple if you wish.

Notes

• For a more entact apple you can add right before you serve.  Be mindful that the longer the apples sit in the warm milk the faster they will break down.
