  • 1/4 apple pie spice

  2. Pour the water over the oats and stir once.

  3. Place in microwave of full power for 1 to 2 minutes or until thickened.

  5. Stir until nicely mixed and add applesauce and spice.

  6. Stir again until mixed.

  7. Place on a teaspoon brown sugar, and some cold milk over top, and enjoy.

Cook's notes

  • Use a crisp apple variety like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best texture.
  • For extra creaminess, stir in a tablespoon of almond butter or tahini after microwaving.
  • To prevent the porridge from bubbling over in the microwave, use a bowl twice the size of the ingredients.

Easy swaps

  • Use gluten-free certified rolled oats if you have a gluten sensitivity.
  • Swap apple cider for unsweetened soy or oat milk for a creamier base.
  • Replace maple syrup with coconut sugar or agave nectar if preferred.
