Dessert For Breakfast Aka Caramel Apple Oatmeal


I saw a recipe for a caramel apple upsidedown cake one day and thought why not top a nice hot bowl of oatmeal with caramel & apples. a great idea was born. you can use whatever type of apple you prefer, we usually have macs in the house. if you can get a honeycrisp apple it is fabulous. i prefer to eat this without milk. i will top it with a spoonful of vanilla yogurt some days. you could use table cream or half & half instead of heavy cream if you want to cut the fat content down.

Steps


Peel , core & dice apple.
Saute in butter for 1 - 2 minutes.
Stir brown sugar into apples.
Stir in cream.
Continue cooking another minute.
Remove from heat while preparing oatmeal.
Bring water to boil , add oatmeal , salt , cinnamon & nutmeg.
Cook as directed for type of oatmeal you are using.
Divide oatmeal between 2 dishes , top with apple mixture.
Enjoy !.
