This was only OK for us. Even though we knew this was really just a breakfast oatmeal recipe, It wasn't nearly sweet enough or creamy enough to be called dessert. I added a little (maybe 1/2 teaspoon) of cinnamon to the sautéed apples too, and we still didn't detect any cinnamon taste at all. And I don't think it's an issue of my cinnamon being too old (just bought it about a month ago). The recipe was fine as a basic oatmeal recipe, but next time I'll add about 1/3 cup more brown sugar and maybe 1/4 cup more cream so the caramel is thinner and more of a creamy sauce to smother the apples in. Made for the 2013 My-3-Chefs event.

Chef #8832636. My memebership on this site goes back to the days of recipezaar, so I have seen a lot of changes on the site over the years. I still miss the forums, they had a wealth of information in them, and it was great to be able to connect with other chefs through them. I don't think zmail exists anymore either, so I don't think we have any way of contacting other chefs now. I haven't been on the site much in the last few years, mainly because of the changes. I do still pop in to look for specific recipes.
I enjoy cooking, and am passionate about baking.
