Apple Pie Oatmeal Topping
Posted by: dandysugar in Breakfast, Fall Recipes, Tasty Sweet Recipes
The same old blueberry and banana topped oatmeal can become pretty boring if you don’t mix it up once in awhile. I have a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast, sometimes several times a week, so I like to add a little variation to spice things up a bit. This is a quick sautee of apples, cinnamon, and a few other autumn pie spices that combine to make a lightly sweetened topping that you can mix into your oatmeal. You can also add toasted chopped nuts of your choice or dried fruit for a slightly different flavor. I usually make about 2-3 servings and just keep it in a jar in the fridge to reheat during the week. It’s also a great alternative to syrup for pancakes and waffles, and is so delicious with a scoop of rich vanilla bean ice cream.
Apple Pie Oatmeal Topping
2 medium apples
2 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp brown sugar
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 allspice
fresh grated nutmeg
Cut apples into bite size pieces and place into a bowl filled with lemon juice. Toss to combine. Melt butter on medium in a pan and sautee apples until you reach your desired texture. I like my apples to retain a very slight crisp texture which took about 3-4 minutes on medium to medium high heat. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg and continue to toss until the apples are fully coated.

My one twin loves oatmeal and eats it for breakfast (or a snack) two or three times a week, too. He also loves apples. I’m going to make him some to spruce up his oatmeal. Thanks for sharing!

Oh! Love the simplicity of this dessert…I’d love to have it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
I like my apples slightly crunchy too. Simple, easy to make and such a beautiful dessert.
Perfectly scrumptious, love it!
Healthy and tasty! I will take the ice cream version please…
I love this dish! I make them sometimes the same way & lay the apple pieces on my buttered bread in the morning. We,Belgians, love baked apple pieces on our bread slices ,…MMMMMMMMMM! We add the spices & cinnamon on the baked apple slices in the pan!
great post!
I have oatmeal a lot in my office while I’m going through work email. I like this idea a lot to changed things up a bit. Great idea!
Great idea! Does the apple go brown after a day or two? or does the lemon juice stop that?
Anita,
Because of the lemon the apples don’t brown. I usually use them up in about two days though…
Oh yum, apple pie, oatmeal topping – I’d be eating this straight from the bowl. What a great idea – I love oatmeal like this
That sounds absolutely perfect! Fantastic stuff and a great way to brighten up breakfast
How did you know I was making baked oatmeal tomorrow morning to force feed to my 8-year-old-who-hates-everything-except-toast? Lol maybe she’ll eat these apples now and pick around her oatmeal.
