Cider oatmeal is a sweet meal that includes dried fruits and walnuts in delicious spiced oats.
Ingredients
  • 2½ cups apple cider
  • 1 cup water
  • 1½ cup rolled oats (not quick cooking)
  • ⅓ cup raisins
  • ⅓ cup dried cranberries
  • ⅓ cup chopped apricots
  • ½ cup dried cherries
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
Instructions
  1. Combine apple cider and water in saucepan over medium low heat and bring to a simmer.
  2. Add fruits, nuts and spices. Mix together and bring back to simmering; this should take 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add rolled oats and stir to incorporate. Cover and turn heat to low.
  4. Cook for 8 minutes, stirring once or twice. Remove from heat and uncover to cool. Oatmeal should firm a bit more.
  5. This recipe is really easy to reheat on a busy morning. It will be really firm coming out of the refrigerator. I like to warm it up in the microwave and then thin with a little milk and some extra walnuts on top.
  6. Rice Cooker directions:
  7. Pour all ingredients into rice cooker. Turn on. Stir. Rice cooker will switch off when ready. Mine takes about 15-18 minutes. Let cool.
