The Old Man's Breakfast

After thirty minutes of preparation and 45 minutes of baking, you will have a delicious dessert that will fill the house with warm and comforting aromas. We start by peeling the apples. Choose sweet and juicy apples, such as Golden Delicious or Fuji, which will turn into a delight in the oven. Use a sharp knife to remove the skin, then cut each apple in half, removing the core. After that, cut the apples into equal-sized cubes to ensure even baking. Immediately drizzle them with lemon juice to prevent oxidation and keep a fresh hue.

Once you have prepared the apples, add a few drops of vanilla essence, which will provide a delightful scent and complement the sweetness of the apples. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors, then arrange the apple cubes in an even layer inside a heatproof dish. Make sure the dish is deep enough to contain the juice that will form during baking.

In a separate bowl, combine the sugar with cinnamon and the cereal. The cinnamon will add a warm and aromatic flavor, while the cereal provides a crunchy texture. Mix the dry ingredients well and then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the layer of apples in the dish. This combination will create a delicious crust that will perfectly contrast with the soft and juicy apple.

To add an extra layer of flavor, cut a few pieces of butter and scatter them here and there over the sprinkled cereal. The butter will melt during baking, adding a rich and creamy taste to the dish. Now, the oven should be preheated to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the dish in the oven and let it bake for about 45 minutes. You will know the dessert is ready when the apples are tender and juicy, and the syrup formed becomes thick and aromatic.

After you take the dessert out of the oven, let it cool slightly before serving. This dish is delicious both on its own and accompanied by a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or diet yogurt, which will perfectly complement the sweet and fragrant flavors of the apples. Enjoy it warm, with your loved ones!
