Apricot Cobbler Porridge

Ingredients

• Rolled oats (1 cup)
• Milk (2 cups)
• Dried apricots (1 cup, chopped)
• Honey (2 tablespoons)
• Cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
• Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
• All-purpose flour (1/2 cup)
• Brown sugar (1/4 cup)
• Unsalted butter (4 tablespoons, cold and cubed)
• Salt (a pinch)

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, chopped dried apricots, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
2. 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.
3. While the porridge cooks, prepare the cobbler topping. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt.
4. 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.
5. Once the porridge is cooked, spoon it into serving bowls and sprinkle the cobbler topping generously over the top.
6. 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.
7. Serve the apricot cobbler porridge warm, and enjoy the delightful combination of creamy oats and crumbly topping!
