Tips and Tricks – How to cook THE BEST Spiced Apple Porridge:
Milk – Use only milk in the recipe for the creamiest porridge possible. Whole milk would be the utmost creamy choice if you consume dairy products. For non-dairy drinkers who want something extra creamy, I recommend almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk.
Milk/Water Consistency– If you don’t want to use all milk, no problem; just combine your preferred milk with some water. You can use any desired combination % for this. I’ve even prepared this dish entirely with water in the past. Even if it isn’t as creamy, it still tastes delicious.
Stir Continuously – I stir my oatmeal constantly as it cooks. The more you whisk the creamier is the outcome!
Use Apple Pie Mix – Use apple pie mix instead if you don’t want to fiddle with spice jars and have it in your spice cabinet!
Save time by chopping– You can save time by slicing the apple for the oatmeal if you don’t want to dirty a grater. Instead of having large, uniform apple bits throughout the oats, grating the apple simply causes it to melt into them. Although I favor the grated method, go with your preference.
