Tips for making Caramel Apple Oatmeal Recipe Perfect

Caramel apple oatmeal is really simple to make. You can prepare it on the stove on in the microwave and in a few minutes, it can be ready.

I think the hardest part is making the caramel sauce and even that is pretty easy.

A few steps to take to make this caramel apple oatmeal perfect.

Powder part of the oatmeal. I use regular oats but you can use quick oats too. Whichever one you use I like to take part of the oatmeal and process it in the food processor or blender to make an oatmeal powder.

Doing this serves to make the oatmeal even creamier without needing to add milk.

You can chop or shred the apples for the oatmeal. I like chopped apples the best, but if you are short on time you can take the whole apple and shred it on box shredder down to the core.

Make the Caramel Sauce ahead of time. While the caramel sauce takes a little time to make, you can make it ahead of time and have it in the refrigerator ready to go. Then when you have a hankering for caramel apple oatmeal you’ll have the caramel sauce ready to go.

Chop the apples ahead of time. If you have a bunch of apples on hand you can dice them ahead of time, freeze them and take out what you. Making it so simple to make quickly.

Prep ahead the oatmeal into packets. You can powder the oatmeal and measure the oatmeal into individual packets so they are quick and easy to prepare.

You can also purchase or dry apples and add them to your packets too. Then all you need is your caramel sauce in the refrigerator and the oatmeal can be made in minutes.
