Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, chopped dried apricots, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and the porridge has thickened.
- While the porridge cooks, prepare the cobbler topping. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Once the porridge is cooked, spoon it into serving bowls and sprinkle the cobbler topping generously over the top.
- Preheat your broiler. Place the saucepan or individual bowls under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye on them, until the cobbler topping is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the apricot cobbler porridge warm, and enjoy the delightful combination of creamy oats and crumbly topping!
