Ingredients
- 1 cup porridge oats (rolled oats)
- 2 cups semi-skimmed milk
- 2 apples
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
Instructions
- To make the porridge, pour the milk in a non-stick pan set over a medium heat and add a pinch of cinnamon to it.
- Bring it to the boil, then lower the heat to low to medium.
- Add the oats and give it a good stir.
- Leave it to cook until the milk is nearly absorbed and the porridge is creamy and milky.
- Meanwhile, peel, core and cut the apples into wedges.
- Add them to a pan set over a medium heat together with the rest of the cinnamon, water, lemon juice and sugar.
- Place a lid on the pan and leave the liquid come to a boil.
- Remove the lid, and leave the apples to cook until the liquid is evaporated and the apples and tender.
- Transfer the porridge to a bowl and top with the apple compote.
Notes
- Make sure you use a non-stick pan to cook porridge, as otherwise this tends to stick quite badly to any pan. If that does happen, to clean the pan, leave it to soak well with plenty of hot soapy water, it should make the cleaning way easier.
- Heating up the milk first and then adding the oats tends to cook the porridge a bit quicker, although you can also add then oats at the same time and cook them together from the begging.
- Do not be tempted to increase the heat, and the resulting porridge won't be as creamy and smooth, it's best to cook slowly to get the best consistency.
- There is no need to cook the porridge until the milk is the all absorbed, as it gets transferred to a bowl, it will harden further.
