Servings: 4

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Combine the rolled oats, milk, chopped dried apricots, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a medium-sized saucepan.
  2. Cook the oatmeal mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the oats are tender and the mixture has thickened, which should take about 10-15 minutes.
  3. While the oatmeal is simmering, prepare the crumble. In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and brown sugar.
  4. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Rub the butter into the flour with your fingers until the mixture attains a coarse crumb texture.
  5. Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the cooked oatmeal.
  6. Place the saucepan under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the crumble topping turns golden and crispy. Keep a close watch to prevent the crumble from burning.
  7. Serve the Apricot Crumble Oatmeal warm. You can add a drizzle of honey or a splash of extra milk for added richness. Enjoy this comforting breakfast!
