Recipe Notes

  • To increase the apple flavor, use apple juice for all or part of the water. Mixing apple juice with milk may cause milk to curdle.
  • Add bite-size dried fruit pieces like raisins, apricots or cranberries in step 3, or sprinkle on top when serving.
  • Sprinkle chopped nuts on top when serving.

I like apples more crunchy, so I added them after the cereal was cooked.  The crunch was a nice contrast to the soft, smooth cereal texture, and oh so yummy!

LOVE this recipe! Have made it several times already, tastes great and so easy in the morning and quick. Tastes creamier when exactly following times in recipe. Did add chopped nuts, a bit of milk and a sliced banana as toppings. Will make again and again for our family!
