Apple Concentrate - Oatmeal
Posted Monday, April 4, 2011 at 12:40 PM

Living in a small Iowa town, not all of the ingredients for the new recipes are available. I couldn't find apple concentrate to make the Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal so I tried to substitute frozen apple concentrate. Way too sweet! Is there a conversion between the two?

Thanks

Hi, iabeancounter, there's a note on the recipe that what they are asking for is frozen apple juice concentrate. I would just use less Smile

See, I wasn't sure about this either. I wasn't sure if it meant frozen apple juice concentrate, or 100% apple juice concentrate (beverage). I got the beverage one instead of the frozen. I made it without the intention of putting the raisins in my oatmeal. But after it was done I thought it wasn't sweet enough so I added in the raisins--no sugar added in whatsoever!

For this oatmeal recipe, anything goes. I also assumed it was frozen apple juice concentrate. But, if I were you and didn't have this handy at home, I'd leave it out and substitute any fruit I have, frozen blueberries, mangos, raisins. And, cinnamon is a must for my oatmeal with a dash of agave! Smile

I don't use apple juice concentrate. I just make oatmeal with water, then stir in unsweetened applesauce and whatever other fruit/nuts I feel like having. To me, the applesauce gives it the perfect amount of sweetness without being too sweet. Wink
