Apple Crumble Porridge

A warming hearty bowl of oats inspired by the best dessert!

I love apple crumble, especially my Nana's one whom I was inspired by to create this recipe. Soft stewed apples with a topping of that delicious crumble is just what I needed. So in my truest self I tried to recreate the exact same, but this is a lot quicker and a little bit of a cheats way to do it. Plus this was the first time I tried granola on top of porridge and I can see why others like it! You could of course be further inspired by this recipe and recreate lots of other beloved crumble desserts which I think I will too, especially when it is rhubarb season yum!

Recipe:

Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 5 minutes
Serves: 1

Ingredients

40g Porridge oats
1tbsp Chia seeds
250ml Soya milk or water
1tsp Cinnamon
¼tsp Ground cloves
½ Apple grated - I like Braeburn
Toppings
2tbsp Granola
½ Apple
1tsp Cinnamon
1tbsp Maple syrup

Method

✿Combine all of the porridge ingredients in a sauce pan and cook on a medium heat for about 5 minutes. Make sure to stir frequently so the porridge doesn't stick to the bottom. Once cooked remove from the heat and spoon into your bowl.
✿Whilst the porridge is cooking chop the other half of the apple into small cubes and heat a small frying pan with a bit of oil. Once it's ready add the apple cubes and stir for a few minutes till it starts to brown. 
✿Add the cinnamon then cover with a lid and let it steam for a few minutes more. Remove the lid and give them a stir, the apples should be soft and brown. 
✿To serve, top the porridge with the apples and the granola and then drizzle over the maple syrup. Enjoy!
