How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good apples
- Fruits should feel heavy, firm, and have a characteristic aroma when ripe. Avoid choosing misshapen fruits.
- The apple’s skin should be free of insect bites, bruises, or blemishes. The color of the apple’s skin should be fresh and shiny.
- The stem of the apple should still be firmly attached. Choose apples of moderate size, avoiding those that are too large or too small, as they may have been treated with chemicals.
How to choose delicious oatmeal
- You should choose whole oats, which are usually coarse grains and not broken.
- You should buy oatmeal from reputable brands and sources.
How to prepare Apple and Honey Oatmeal

Prepare the apple
After purchasing the apples, you should rinse them with clean water and soak them in salt water for about 3 minutes to remove preservatives (or pesticides) still adhering to the skin.
Then, you proceed to shred the apple or cut each fruit into four pieces, remove the core with seeds, and slice them thinly.
Ways to prevent apples from browning
- Method 1: Soak for about 3 minutes in diluted lemon juice.
- Method 2: Soak for about 4 minutes in diluted salt water.
- Method 3: Use fruit fresh powder (a powdered mixture of citric acid and ascorbic acid) sprinkled on the apple after cutting.
- Method 4: Blanch the apple briefly after cutting, as boiling water will inhibit enzymes present in the apple, preventing them from coming into contact with outside air and causing browning.

Cook the oatmeal
You place a pot on the stove, add the oatmeal, and 150 ml of unsweetened milk into the pot, and boil for about 8 – 10 minutes on low heat until the oatmeal is soft (this recipe makes thick oatmeal since additional milk is added on top when serving, or if you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a little water or milk if desired).

Notes when cooking apple and honey oatmeal porridge
- Oatmeal is rich in nutrients and fiber, providing a feeling of fullness for a long time. To lose weight, you need to combine exercise, drink plenty of water, or consult a diet plan from a specialist or doctor!
- You should choose rolled oats, not finely ground oats, as they can be unappetizing.
- You should adjust the amount of water when cooking porridge to avoid it being too watery or too thick.
- For rolled oats, the ratio is 1 part oats to 5 parts water.
- For instant oats or broken oats, the recommended ratio is 1 part oats to 2 parts water.
