Apple Pie Oatmeal Breakfast

Simple, fast, warm and delicious would describe this apple pie oatmeal breakfast. It has all the flavors of a warm apple pie fresh out of the oven but it is also a heart healthy, filling and nutritious breakfast that is not overly sweet. It can also be premade and warmed up in the microwave at time.

Step 1: Make the Apple Topping

Apple Topping

Ingredients:

1 medium apple – peeled and cubed

1 tablespoon sugar

1 tablepoon vegan butter

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

chopped pecans

Directions:

In a medium sauce pan, melt butter and sugar. Add cubed apples and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until apples start to soften. Cook to desired texture, I like a bit of crunch in the middle of the apple. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Oatmeal

Oatmeal

Ingredients:

1 cup old fashioned oatmeal

1 cup almond milk

1 cup apple cider

Directions:

Remove from heat and set aside. Place milk, apple cider and oatmeal in a medium sauce pan and cook thoroughly for approximately 5 minutes or until oatmeal is tender and becomes thick. Remove from heat and transfer oatmeal into two separate bowls, top with apple topping and chopped pecans.
