Apple Oatmeal Recipe

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add apples; cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.

Add pili nuts, maple syrup, brown sugar, and cinnamon; cook for 10 minutes over low heat or until apples are tender. Transfer to a bowl. Let mixture cool.

Divide apple mixture into two portions. Place 1 portion, milk, and cream in a blender; purée until smooth. Let mixture cool.

Place oatmeal and ½ cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer then fold in the apple-milk mixture. Simmer for 5 minutes. If mixture is too thick, add another ½ cup water and cook for a little less than 1 minute.

Transfer to individual serving bowls. Top each bowl with whipped cream and a spoonful of the reserved apple-pili mixture. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon. Serve warm.
