Spiced Apple Oats

Apple Topping

Ingredients

• 1 medium apple 🍏

• 2 tbsp unsalted butter

• 1 tbsp granulated sugar

• 1 1/2 tbsp light brown sugar

• 2 tsp dark brown sugar

• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

• 1/2 tsp ground clove

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 

• Dash of salt

• 2 tsp lemon juice

Method

1. Wash and pat dry your apple, peel if desired. Carefully give them a dice—try for even sizes. This helps to insure an even cooking time.

2. In a pot over MED heat, add in all the ingredients except for the lemon juice. Stirring occasionally.

3. Cook at a soft boil, until apples are tender—this should take about 6-8mins.

4. Stir in the lemon juice and cook an additional 2-3mins.

5. Remove from heat and place in an airtight container, lid off to cool. 

6. Using warm or hot water rinse the pot to prep for making the oats.
