Apple Pie Oatmeal
Posted in: Breakfast Ideas, Food Photos, Toddler Approved, Vegetarian Ideas |
Those that read my weight loss blog may already know this is an older idea. I just never photographed it before.
I really need to thank the toddler for introducing me to oatmeal. Honestly, I never ate it until he came around. Then I realized how great warm breakfast could be!
I “cheat” in this recipe using one of those flavored oatmeal packets. I just haven’t been able to duplicate the same apple pie experience with out it. 
Then again, I really haven’t tried. Sometimes quick and simple is just what you need in the morning, especially with a toddler or two on your hands.
- 1 package of light cinnamon flavored oatmeal like Quaker Oatmeal Weight Control Cinnamon
- Dash of extra cinnamon to taste
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce or a single serve container
Pour the package contents in a coffee mug with a dash of extra cinnamon and add about 1/2 cup of boiling water. Stir and let sit a minute.
Stir in the applesauce and sprinkle with a bit more cinnamon.
I swear it taste like I smooshed up an apple pie!

I am on your subscription and when I opened my email today I was already contemplating what to have for breakfast. It sounded so good especially since it was 20 degrees this morning. I absolutely loved this and it will be a regular. Even more important I got a thumbs up from hubby and my 2yr son.
YAY! I love when kids and husbands like something new! ;~)
this sounds delicious! i’m going to have to try it!!
Is there a way to make this Core?
Kate - what would make it CORE? Using plain oatmeal, applesauce, cinnamon and splenda, maybe?
This is great. I use reduced sugar Quaker cinnamon apple oatmeal and add a single serving of cinnamon flavored applesauce. using the WW calculator that is a tasty 3 points. thanks for the idea. loved it!
I tried this today and it was a great idea! =) Very tasty!
OH! YUMMY!
I usually don’t like oatmeal, but this is WONDERFUL!
I’m fixing this for me and my husband inn the morning!
Thanks you!
It was great!! Thanks! My almost 3 yr. old loved it too.
This was great - in fact, it was so much like smooshed apple pie that I thought it was a bit rich for breakfast. So I made it again - but served it piping hot with a dollop of cool whip light as a great 2 serving DESSERT!! Sooo yummy!
LOVE IT!!!! I eat as a dessert!!
This is the first recipe I’ve tried from this site and it’s great! I also tried it using a 50 calorie (no sugar added) blueberry flavored applesauce and it was even better.
[…] With all this sweetener talk, I thought I’d take my hand at making my own oatmeal. Not that I haven’t made my own oatmeal before but normaly, I rely on a pre-made packages that are chock full of artificial sweeteners like ones I use in Apple Pie Oatmeal. […]
