Author Notes: I love New England apple pie with sharp cheddar cheese melted on top … I was thinking about porridge and thinking about pie and I says to myself – SELF, why not both? And so here it is! —aargersi
Serves: 2
Ingredients
-
1/2
cup steel cut oats
-
2
cups apple cider
-
1/2
teaspoon Chinese 5 spice
-
1
granny smith apple
-
1/2
cup grated extra sharp Vermont cheddar cheese
-
2
tablespoons real maple syrup (preferable grade B)
-
a drizzle of cream
Directions
- Bring the cider to a boil and stir in the oats and the Chinese 5 spice. Reduce the heat and simmer.
- While the oats are simmering – peel, core and dice the apple. After about 15 minutes, stir the apple into the oats.
- Simmer and stir until the oats are done, about a half an hour total. Serve into two bowls and top each with a tbs. of maple syrup and 1/4 C of the cheese. You might pop it in the microwave for just a few seconds to help the cheese melt.
- drizzle a bit of cream over and enjoy!!
