Tips
The best tip for how to make apple cinnamon oatmeal that is perfectly cooked is to use the right amount of liquid. Too much liquid will result in a soupy consistency, while too little will make the oatmeal dry and difficult to eat. A good rule of thumb is to use a ratio of approx. 1:2, which is what we do in our recipe although with a bit more liquid to make it softer because you also add apples and warmed milk. The oatmeal's texture should ideally be thick, creamy, and smooth. The oats should still have a bit of a bite and be slightly chewy as opposed to entirely soft.

Easy apple cinnamon oatmeal with warm milk
Regular oatmeal is a staple breakfast in many countries but serving it with delicious toppings takes it to the next level. Sweet-tangy red apples sprinkled with warming spices are one such tasty topping. When fried, the crisp fruit becomes soft and tender, retaining only a little bit of crunch.
However, as the apple wedges are allowed to caramelise in the pan, their flavour becomes sweeter and more intense. The combination of its natural flavour and the warming, sweet-spicy cinnamon is wonderful. As such, this apple cinnamon oatmeal is a must-try if you enjoy oats for breakfast – and even if you do not normally!
Serving your apple cinnamon oatmeal with warm milk makes it even creamier and gives it an added richness both in consistency and taste. Whisking the warm milk lightly first gives it a delightfully frothy texture that makes the combination even more delicious.
Enjoy as a tasty breakfast or filling snack
A steaming bowl of creamy apple cinnamon oatmeal is sure to leave you warmed and satisfied for hours to come. This makes it perfect as a way to start the day and tide you over until lunch. However, you might also like to try it as a snack for those afternoons when dinner seems to be lightyears away.

Delicious crunchy apple cinnamon oatmeal toppings
An apple and cinnamon oatmeal only becomes more delicious with carefully selected toppings. To create a bit of contrast with the soft porridge and tender, cinnamon-fried apples, we suggest granola and chopped hazelnuts. These nutty-tasting apple cinnamon oatmeal toppings provide a great crunch, making for a multifaceted eating experience and keeping it interesting with each bite.
Experiment with the ingredients
If you cannot get enough of cinnamon, you can flavour the porridge itself with this warming spice to make an even more intense apple cinnamon oatmeal. Other spices that pair nicely with this cinnamon, in case you want to amp the flavour a little bit, include citrussy cardamom and sweet-spicy, nutty nutmeg.
An easy way to experiment with the flavour profile without changing it fundamentally is to use different granolas. The easiest way to create a version that perfectly aligns with your personal preferences is, of course, to make your own. If you are unsure how to get started with making a homemade apple cinnamon oatmeal topping, you can find tips and inspiration in our recipes for a classic granola with seeds and nuts and our coconut granola recipe.
