Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the chopped apple and 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Cook, stirring frequently, until the apples are softened and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the caramel apple mixture to a separate bowl and set aside.

02

Step

In the same saucepan, melt the remaining 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the remaining 1/2 cup of brown sugar and stir until fully dissolved. Gradually pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously to prevent scorching. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

03

Step

Add the rolled oats, flax seeds, and ground cinnamon to the simmering cream mixture. Stir well to combine. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency, about 5-7 minutes. If the oatmeal becomes too thick, add a splash more heavy cream to reach your desired consistency.

04

Step

Ladle the caramel oatmeal into bowls. Top each serving generously with the reserved caramel apple mixture, raisins, and sliced almonds. Garnish with a dollop of whipped topping, if desired, for an extra touch of indulgence. Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors and textures.

For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular melted butter in the caramel apple mixture.
Feel free to experiment with other toppings such as chopped pecans, walnuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
For a vegan option, substitute the butter with coconut oil and the heavy cream with coconut cream or almond milk.
