Late Night Single Serving Oatmeal Apple or Pear Crisp
cinnamon, to taste
nutmeg, to taste
sugar, to taste
pinch salt
1 apple or pear, bite sized pieces
1 (1-ounce) packet oatmeal (I suggest maple spice)
1 tablespoon vegan margarine
1. Preheat oven or toaster oven to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle sugar, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg, to taste on apple or pear, and mix with fingers.
2. Add to a small baking dish like a single serve Pyrex dish.
3. In a small bowl, empty oatmeal packet and add margarine. Mix with your hands until oatmeal is completely mixed. Pour over the cut apple or pear.
4. You can bake this in a conventional oven or toaster oven. I used my toaster over. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is lightly brown. Remove from oven and let stand a few minutes, then serve.
Tastes really good with vanilla soy ice cream or soy whipped cream.
SO HOW'D IT GO?
I've been making these heaps lately as a snack for the cold weather and I think I'm addicted!
I use two small gala apples, a decent amount of cinnamon and some brown sugar. I also add a little maple syrup over the apples before I add the oats on top. So good!
I actually found this recipe at 11 looking for a late night snack :) which is weird
Well, i sadly couldn't make it right then, because my oven beeps really loudly and would wake evryone up, butttt I did make it the next day and it is VERY quick and easy and pretty yummy to top it all off. I used Quaker Apple & Cinnamon instant oatmeal.
This is awesome! I'm so happy to see a single serving recipe which is exactly what I like and it allowed me to finally use my tiny baking dish. I added some sugar and cinnamon to the oatmeal because it was plain flavored and didn't use any nutmeg. The topping didn't get really crispy but I think I may have needed more butter.
I made this for breakfast this morning! I used pears, maple brown sugar oatmeal, and Earth Balance. And of course cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar. I baked it in the toaster oven for 20 minutes. I really liked it, but it felt like it was missing something! I think next time I'd find something to help make it a little more moist or gooey; it seemed kind of dry! But very mmmmm indeed! :)
Thanks for posting! This was sooo GOOD!!! Made this for breakfast this morning & I'm so full used Cinnamon sugar that comes mixed because its what i had & added some almonds it was heavenly thanks :)>>>
Mmmm... and so easy! I needed to make several servings, but used this as the base recipe. I used pears (4) and did not add any sugar to the fruit. I'm glad I didn't because it was very sweet on it's own! I was feeling lazy and just grabbed the pumpkin pie spice and used that, instead of individual spices. I did use maple and brown sugar flavored instant oatmeal packets (also 4 of them). So easy!!! I did not use margarine, as we try not to, but instead used 1 t of olive oil per packet and added a little salt.
At the last minute, I worried that the oatmeal mix was too dry and would burn, but I already had it on, so I used my olive oil mister to spray a tiny bit more on the top, but this might not have been necessary.
Thank you for sharing this simple, yummy recipe!
I've made this twice in not even a week already!
Its like a dessert, but relatively healthy.
The first time I used an apple & dried currants for the fruit. For both times, I omitted the butter and the sugar and used 2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce to wet the oatmeal, which was unflavored. I baked it in a mug for 20 minutes then broiled it (to brown the top even more! yum!) for 2 minutes. I then drizzled it with low sugar syrup. Nom Nom.
The second time I had half of a leftover pear and half of a leftover banana so I layered those along with dried currants for the fruit. The banana got super gooey which was really nice.
Thanks for this simple versatile recipe! ;)b
i just made this without sugar and added in some raspberries instead, i also used plain oatmeal, i bet the flavored packets would be awesome though! mmmm. it was so simple and awesome!!
could you use other fruit for this?
I was just think that peaches would be delish!
I haven't tried it but I don't see why not. Peaches do sound so yummy. Thank you for the idea. I bet strawberries or cherries would work out great too.
TinSwordArthur - I'm so glad you liked it!!
