Apple Pie Porridge

Adam Liaw's SBS Cookup show recently made Wilbur very happy - dessert for breakfast! I made a couple of changes to the original and soak the oats and green apple overnight. I keep the apple skin on but you could peel it.   I agree with Wilbur - this is very delicious breakfast which really tastes like apple pie ! Enjoy!  Colleen and Wilbur




  

Preparation    5 minutes     plus overnight soak    OR just prepare and cook
Cooking         7 - 10 minutes 

Ingredients  (this serves 2)

1 Granny Smith apple - cored and finely cubed - I leave skin ON
1/2 cup traditional Rolled Oats  
1 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon Maple Syrup   (I don't usually add sugar to porridge - original recipe was for 2 teaspoons but I found that too sweet)  
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

For Topping
Spoonful of Greek yoghurt with a tiny tiny splash of vanilla if desired
plus
a dollop of nice oven-baked Granola (optional)
A few berries for garnish if you fancy

Method

Combine the cubed apple, oats, milk, water, cinnamon, maple syrup and vanilla in a lidded container and place in fridge. Leave to soak overnight if possible.

Mix the greek yoghurt with vanilla and set aside in fridge til ready for dollop topping.

To cook
place the soaked oat mixture in a saucepan and gently simmer approx 7-8 minutes until begins to thicken. Stir regularly, stay with it as you don't want it to catch on bottom. 

Divide porridge between 2 bowls and top with dollop of yoghurt, sprinkle of granola if you like and perhaps a few berries.

Enjoy your dessert breakfast!  Colleen and Wilbur
