Ingredients

Scale

For the Oatmeal:

  • 1 cup thick-cut rolled oats (gluten-free)
  • 1 medium Granny Smith apple, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups almond milk (or your favorite plant-based milk)
  • 1/2 cup condensed milk (or coconut milk for vegan)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • Pinch of sea salt

For the Caramelized Apples:

  • 1 medium Gala apple, sliced with skin on
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or vegan butter)
  • 1/2 cup organic brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt

Optional Toppings:

  • Toasted walnuts or pecans
  • Drizzle of maple syrup

Instructions

  • Make the Oatmeal:
    In a medium saucepan, combine the oats, diced Granny Smith apple, almond milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and sea salt.
    Heat over medium-high, stirring frequently, and bring to a boil.
    Reduce heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and creamy with some liquid remaining.
    Stir in the condensed milk and maple syrup, and simmer for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Caramelize the Apples:
    In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
    Add brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt, stirring until the mixture bubbles slightly (about 2-3 minutes).
    Add the sliced Gala apple and toss to coat. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
  • Assemble and Serve:
    Portion the oatmeal into serving bowls.
    Top with the caramelized apples and toasted walnuts or pecans.
    Drizzle with additional maple syrup, if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute the condensed milk with coconut milk for a vegan-friendly version.
  • Feel free to use other varieties of apples, but the Granny Smith apple gives a nice tartness that balances the sweetness.
  • For added protein, top with a dollop of almond butter or peanut butter.
  • The oatmeal can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a little extra almond milk if needed.
