STEP 1:

 

Bring 3 1/4 cups water and salt to a full boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Stir in oats. Reduce heat to medium, and cook, uncovered, 6 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.

STEP 2:

 

While oatmeal cooks, combine all the spread ingredients in a small bowl, and stir until well blended. Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Add 1/4 cup of the spice spread; refrigerate remaining spread for later use. When bubbly, add the apple slices, and cook 3 minutes or until tender, stirring gently.

Remove from heat, and let stand 1 minute to absorb flavors. Divide oatmeal equally among four bowls. Spoon equal amounts of the apple mixture over each serving.



Comments

I have been using the buttery spread,mayo and peanut butter for awhile now and love them. I am hoping they sell the other products at Walmart and or Market basket because I would love to try them.

I am starting the smart today. I started a new change in my health challenge and I have choosen to start with Smart. The receipes sound so good.

Love the spread. I actually was out of whole apples, so I substituted 1.5 cups of low fat applesauce and it turned out great!

Buttery Spice Spread? Yum!!!
