More fun with Oatmeal

pecuniumI made breakfast for CG this morning.
It was an excise to use the spurtle I picked up for CG while I was buying kilt hose for Ian.
I don't think what I made this morning is the sort of thing to enter in The Golden Spurtle but it wasn't bad.
The usual recipe for, "rich man's porridge" (1 part oats/1 part water/1 part milk/1 part cream: if it's too dry, add a bit more cream/milk/water, as suits your preference, and a bit of sweetening. I used maple syrup, but honey or sugar are just fine).
While stirring that, CG sliced some apples and I put some sugar and water on to boil. When the skillet was bubbling, the apples went in. Let it reduce, add some more water (to cook the apples more) and reduce again to the fine-thread stage of caramel.
Put those in the bottom of the bowl, cover with oatmeal and serve with coffee.
