Ingredients

Oatmeal
  • 2 cups rolled oats (162 grams)
  • 4 cups water (32 fl oz)
  • 1 1/2 cups Fairlife Lactose Free Fat Free Ultra Filtered Milk (12 fl oz)
  • 1/2 cup apple butter (4 fl oz)
  • 2 tsp maple extract
  • 1 tsp apple pie spice
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Optional: caramel for drizzling and flakey sea salt
Caramelized Apples
  • 3 small Honeycrisp apples (386 grams yield)
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar (41 grams)
  • 2 tbsp butter (29 grams)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (0.5 fl oz)
  • 1/4 tsp apple pie spice

Instructions

Caramelize the Apples.
    Cup of Yum
  1. Core the apples and slice them into thin slices. Toss apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning and set aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add butter, stirring until melted and bubbly, then add apple slices and distribute evenly in the skillet, in a single layer if possible. Sprinkle with apple pie spice and brown sugar.
  3. Cook apples for 3-5 minutes without stirring, then toss to coat apples evenly with sauce. Continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes or until apples are tender and sauce has reduced and thickened slightly. Set aside.
Make the Oatmeal.
  1. In a large pot, bring the water and salt to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower heat to a simmer and add the oats and cinnamon stick. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Remove oatmeal from heat and stir in milk, apple butter, maple extract, and apple pie spice. The oats will thicken and absorb the milk as they rest and cool.
  3. Serve oatmeal with caramelized apples. If desired, top with a drizzle of caramel, a dollop of whipped cream, chopped pecans, and flakey sea salt.
