Remember that whole apple dessert for breakfast thing?
It’s become a more than just a Friday thing.
It’s an every day obsession.
I’ve always loved oats. Not hard to do when your two favorite toppings are butter and brown sugar. But in all my oatmeal life I have never made an oatmeal variety so. many. times. It started with days, and moved to weeks, and I’m now going on a month of this deliciously cozy breakfast.
I think that qualifies as an obsession.
And here’s a little secret. Sometimes I curl up with a blanket and completely ignore my dinner plans and make this instead. Woops. I guess obsession might be an understatement.
