Apple Pie Porridge

Apple pie is a hearty, warming dessert designed for the depths of autumn. I have tried to take the essence of the apple pie and make them into a porridge:

Buttery pastry becomes a creamy, rich porridge. Soft, but not too soft, apple compote mimics the delicious filling. Crunchy almonds replace the crispiness of the pie case. And finally, warming cinnamon envelops you in a warm, autumnal hug.

Ingredients

Serves 1

Porridge

• 1/8 tsp cinnamon

• 1/2 apple grated

• Handful of raisins

• 1/2 cup oats

• 1/2 cup milk

• 1/2 cup water

• 1 tsp honey

• Pinch of salt

Apple compote

• 1/2 apple, chopped

• 1 tsp butter

• 1 tsp honey

• 3 tbsp water

• Chopped nuts

(Notes on substitutions found below the method)

Method:

1. Mix together the porridge ingredients. On the hob: place the ingredients in a saucepan, bring to boil and simmer for 4-5 minutes stirring regularly to make it rich and creamy. In the microwave: place the ingredients in a microwave proof bowl, then microwave on high for 1 minute, give it a good stir for 30s minutes. Put back in the microwave for 2-3 minutes stirring regularly to make it rich and creamy.

2. Place the chopped apple, butter, honey and water in a saucepan on a medium heat. Cook until just softening, about 10 minutes.

3. Top your porridge with the apple compote, chopped nuts and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes and substitutions:

• Oats: I use regular porridge oats, but you can use any type. Just adjust the cooking time.

• Milk: Any milk works, including soy and nut milks.

• Honey: You can replace with the same quantity of any sweetener (maple syrup, sugar etc)

• Apple: whichever kind you have to hand.
