Apple Pie Oatmeal

May 9, 2014 by Werona

Mornings are still brisk here in Seattle, and on cool mornings I really love to have a bowl of oatmeal to warm me up. I think it comes from growing up in Queensland, Australia where many homes did not have any type of central heating. It really wasn’t necessary as the cold doesn’t last for very long. But when it got cold, it was nice to warm up your insides with a bowl of porridge (that’s what we call oatmeal!). Over here, with my toasty warm, heated house, I don’t need the oatmeal to warm me up, but it certainly feels nice and gives me a sense of contentment and a readiness to face the day.

Like my other oatmeal recipes, this Apple Pie Oatmeal is simple to prepare. I am not a morning person. I would rather stay up all night long and sleep in every day. But I have children and commitments so I drag myself out of bed each morning. Coffee is not my thing, so I don’t get that morning boost. Breakfast has to be simple.

Apple Pie Oatmeal

I use two saucepans for this oatmeal. One is for cooking the oatmeal, and at the same time, the other is for cooking the apple. For the oatmeal, I simply follow the directions on the packet of oatmeal. For the apple, I mix together chopped apple, brown sugar and water.  Sometimes I also add cinnamon to give it that genuine apple pie filling taste.    In the end, they are mixed together with some cream to give you a bowl of delightful Apple Pie Oatmeal.

    I just stumbled on, and am so enjoying your blog! I have looked for a recipe that will make me like oatmeal for my entire life. This one looks so delicious – I can’t wait to try it. Thanks!

    BTW, don’t feel you have to translate to American English for us – as you know, the terms are not so different as to be confusing and it’s fun to figure them out. I was disappointed that Harry Potter was Americanized for reading here. Even the youngest readers proved they could easily learn all the wizarding language, so it would have been nice to give them a chance to learn the English words too.

    Thanks again, I look forward to making my son his favorite anzacs and for myself – the cake in a cup!

      Hi Laurel – I’m glad you stopped by and have found something you’d like to make. I had the banana oatmeal this morning – it’s getting back to oatmeal weather. My daughter was amused by the change in Harry Potter – she has Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone as we bought it in Australia during a visit home. Therefore, she always knows which book is hers as all her friends have Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone!
