Apple And Spice Porridge Recipes

SPICED APPLE OATMEAL

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat apple, butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, and 3 tablespoons water over medium-high until simmering. Cover and cook until apples are tender, about 5 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup apple mixture for garnish.
• Add oats and 2 cups water to saucepan with remaining apple mixture and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until oats are creamy, about 5 minutes.
• Serve with reserved apple mixture, pecans, and more maple syrup, if desired.

PORRIDGE WITH APPLES

Steps:

• Put the water in a large saucepan and boil.
• When boiling, pour in the porridge and stir for 1-2 minutes.
• At this point you should really turn the heat down while stirring but if your stove does not simmer so well, then just lift the pot away from the heat for a few seconds periodically.
• After a minute, put in the apple slices and continue to stir for a further 30-45 seconds.
• The porridge should be thickening up by this point. If not, keep it on the heat a little longer.
• Take the pot off the heat, cover the porridge and set aside for a couple minutes.
• Serve, with any extras you might have to hand like a bit of brown sugar if you are lucky or some honey drizzled over.
• You could also replace up to half of the water with milk while you are cooking the porridge for a creamier version.

CREAMY PORRIDGE WITH SPICED APPLE & CRANBERRY

Steps:

• Put the apples in a pan with 100ml water and cook gently until almost softened. Turn up the heat. Add the cranberries, mixed spice and 3 tbsp of the caster or granulated sugar and bubble until saucy. You can make this a day before serving.
• Tip the oats, milk, vanilla and remaining sugar into a big saucepan. Bring to the boil, stirring constantly, and simmer for 4-5 mins until creamy. Divide between 6 bowls and top with the warm or cold fruit mixture.
