Because apricots bake so quickly (the crumble needs only 20 minutes in a 400-degree oven) it's important to bake the topping for this crisp ahead.

Time 1h20m

Yield Yield: 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup rice flour
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour or toasted flaxseeds, coarsely ground
1/3 cup turbinado sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 ounces (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 pounds apricots, cut in half, stones removed
3 tablespoons mild honey or dark agave nectar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 cup lightly toasted slivered almonds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • First make the topping. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with parchment. Place the oats, rice flour, whole-wheat flour or ground flaxseeds, turbinado sugar, salt and nutmeg in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse several times to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the butter is evenly distributed throughout the grain mix. The mixture should have a crumbly consistency.
  • Spread the topping over the parchment-covered baking sheet in an even layer. Place in the oven and bake 10 minutes. Rotate the pan, stir the mixture, and bake another 10 minutes, until nicely browned. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. You can keep this in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer for several weeks.
  • Raise the oven heat to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, toss together the apricots, honey or agave nectar, cinnamon, cornstarch, slivered almonds, vanilla and almond extract. Cover and let sit for 15 minutes.
  • Butter a 2-quart baking dish. Scrape the fruit and all of the juice in the bowl into the baking dish. Spread the crumble topping over the apricots in an even layer. Bake 20 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is nicely browned. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 1h45m

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 apple, such as Empire or Braeburn, cored and chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, plus more for serving
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons water
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2 cups water
Chopped toasted pecans, for serving

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, heat apple, butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, and 3 tablespoons water over medium-high until simmering. Cover and cook until apples are tender, about 5 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup apple mixture for garnish.
  • Add oats and 2 cups water to saucepan with remaining apple mixture and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until oats are creamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Serve with reserved apple mixture, pecans, and more maple syrup, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use ripe apricots. Ripe apricots are sweeter and have a more intense flavor. If you don't have ripe apricots, you can use dried apricots, but be sure to soak them in hot water for 10 minutes before using.
  • Don't overcook the oatmeal. Oatmeal is best when it is cooked until it is creamy and tender, but not mushy. If you overcook the oatmeal, it will become dry and tough.
  • Add your favorite spices. The recipe calls for cinnamon and nutmeg, but you can add other spices that you like, such as ginger, cardamom, or allspice.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings. Oatmeal is delicious served with a variety of toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or yogurt.

Conclusion:

This spiced apricot baked oatmeal is a delicious and healthy way to start your day. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its sweet and tangy flavor, this oatmeal is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
