Apple-Cinnamon Oatmeal

Source of Recipe

From "Williams-Sonoma: Cooking at Home"


Recipe Introduction

"Adding shredded apple and a dash of cinnamon complements the wonderfully earthy flavor of the oatmeal. Seek out good stone-ground oats and follow the package directions for the precise proportion of water to oats and the cooking time."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ Salt
â—¦ 1 cup coarsely ground whole-grain oatmeal
â—¦ 2 large, crisp, sweet apples
â—¦ 1 tsp ground cinnamon
â—¦ About ¼ cup honey


Recipe

In a saucepan over high heat, bring 3 to 4 cups water (see note, above) to a rolling boil and add ½ teaspoon salt. Stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming, stir in the oatmeal.

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the oatmeal is thick and creamy, following the package directions.

Meanwhile, halve and core the apples. When the oatmeal is ready, remove from the heat and uncover. Using the large holes of a box grater-shredder, shred the apples directly into the pan. Add the cinnamon and stir well.

Spoon the oatmeal into warmed individual bowls and drizzle evenly with the honey. Serve right away.
