Cooking instructions
- Put the oats, chopped dates and spices into a medium heavy-based saucepan with three-quarters of the apple chunks and add a pinch of salt. Pour in the milk and 400ml of hot water and stir over a medium heat until the porridge begins to simmer.
- Simmer gently for 15–20 minutes, stirring regularly for a creamy consistency. The apple chunks will collapse into the porridge and the liquid should all be absorbed.
- To serve, spoon into warmed bowls and top with the remaining apple chunks. Serve with a little jug of extra milk on the side.
VARIATIONS
Swap the cow’s milk for soya, rice or oat milk, or, for a very lean version, just make it with water.
