How to Make Sugar-Free Apple Pie Oatmeal Step by Step
Step 1: Gather and prep your ingredients

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.)

Step 3: Add the Oats
Stir in the oats and vanilla and microwave 1-2 minutes more until done to your liking.

Step 4: Stir and Cool
Stir again and allow to cool for a minute or two before digging in!

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

Notes

- 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.
