How to Make Sugar-Free Apple Pie Oatmeal Step by Step

Step 2: Cook the Apples

In a medium to large microwave safe bowl (affiliate link) stir together the chopped apple, cinnamon and sweetener and microwave 2 minutes. (Be sure to use a much larger bowl than you think you need to prevent the oatmeal from bubbling up and over the sides.)

Recipe Notes

  • Choose the right bowl – Use a deep, wide bowl so the oatmeal doesn’t bubble over while cooking.
  • Apple varieties – Any apple works. Sweet apples (like Fuji) will give you a naturally sweeter bowl, while tart apples (like Granny Smith) add a nice tang.
  • Oats – Old-fashioned or quick oats are both fine here. Just avoid instant oats, which can get mushy.

Serving Suggestions

This microwave apple pie oatmeal is delicious as-is, but you can take it up a notch with a few toppings:

  • A dollop of plain Greek yogurt or light whipped topping
  • A sprinkle of chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Extra cinnamon or a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup

  • Be sure to use a large wide deep bowl to prepare you oats in the microwave because they will boil and bubble up as they cook. If your mug or bowl is too small the oatmeal is likely to spill out over the side of the bowl and make a huge mess in the microwave. It has happened to me and I don’t want it to happen to you!
  • Use whatever apple variety you like best and have on hand. I am a big fan of Pink Lady and Honey Crisp but any apple will work.
  • I have made this with both old-fashioned and quick cooking oats with good results.

  1. I make a similar recipe but donโ€™t precook the apples. Mix ingredients & microwave 5 minutes at 50% power. Perfect every time.

  2. This is delicious. Thank you for the recipe. Can this be made ahead of time (night before and refrigerated) and then reheated the next morning?
