Instructions

1. 1

   --- TO MAKE THE OATMEAL: ---

2. 2

   Add oats and Almond milk to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until everything is combined. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low so that everything simmers for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. At the halfway mark, stir in the condensed milk. Continue to simmer.

3. 3

   Once done, oats should thicken and become swollen + fluffy and creamy with a little over half the liquid still remaining. Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla, and apple spice blend and let it simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes before removing it from heat. NOTE: See FAQ section to make thicker or thinner, depending on preference

   In a medium (10-inch) skillet over medium-high heat, add the butter and heat until melted. Add the brown sugar, apple pie spice, and vanilla and stir until combined and everything begins to bubble a bit, about 1-2 minutes.

6. 6

   Add the sliced apples and butter and toss until well coated and the butter melts and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until tender and the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat. Cool completely!
