Ingredients

  1. 1/2 cup water
  2. 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  3. 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  4. 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  5. Pinch salt
  6. 1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and cut into medium dice
  7. 2 3/4 cups whole milk
  8. 1 cup quick cooking Irish oatmeal (recommended: McCann’s)
  9. 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
  10. Pinch salt
  11. 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. For the apples and cranberries: Combine the water, sugar, cinnamon, cranberries, and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 1 minute.
  2. Add the apples, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft but still retain some of their shape and the mixture has thickened, about 10 minutes. Set aside while you make the oatmeal.
  3. For the oatmeal: Preheat the broiler. Put the milk in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the oatmeal, orange zest, and salt and cook until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Cover and let sit for 2 minutes. The oatmeal should be slightly loose, it will continue to thicken under the broiler.
  4. Divide half of the apple mixture between 2 10-ounce ramekins. Divide half of the oatmeal between the 2 ramekins and spoon on top of the apple mixture. Place the remaining apple mixture on top of the oatmeal then top the apple mixture with the remaining oatmeal. Smooth out the top of the oatmeal and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the sugar evenly over the top of each.
  5. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and place until the broiler. Broil until the sugar is golden brown and bubbly and completely melted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest a few minutes before serving.

Loved the recipe and will definitely be making it again. And, I am still making it from 2018.

Love this. Have made it several times. I don’t use cranberries only because I don’t have them.
Crystal Howard
This is delicious! Tastes like fall 🙂

Made a version of this today and it was delicious.  Didn’t have cranberries, so I used golden raisins.  Worked perfectly.  I also didn’t do the brûlée part, just mixed it in with the oatmeal.  Nice way to change up oatmeal.
