Eat breakfast, but feel like you’re eating dessert with this apple pie-inspired oatmeal! This dish is filled with layers of apple pie filling, oatmeal, and a peanut butter caramel made with dates. Our delicious Autumn Glory apples enhance the apple pie flavor with their hints of cinnamon and caramel.
Ingredients
Apple Pie Layer
- 4 Autumn Glory apples
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon cornstarch
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups plant-based milk
- pinch salt
Peanut Butter Caramel
- 6 Medjool dates
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter
- pinch salt
- ⅓ cup hot water
Directions:
- Core and thinly slice the apples. Melt the coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the apples, cinnamon, cornstarch, and sugar. Stir well. Cook for 5-7 minutes until apples are soft and gooey, stirring often.
- Put the oats, milk, and salt in a saucepan. Stir well. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low for 3-5 minutes.
- While the apples and oats are cooking, add the peanut butter, dates, water, and salt to a blender. Blend on high until smooth. Add more water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Press several apple slices onto the sides of the jar, then add oatmeal. Press the oatmeal in well so it fills all the nooks and crannies. Add a layer of peanut butter caramel and more oatmeal. Top with apple pie topping. Enjoy right away, or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Tastes great, warm or cold.
