Bircher muesli with caramelised apple FAQ:
Soak the oats for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight. This allows them to soften and absorb the apple juice for better flavor and texture.
The apples are done when they are golden brown and tender, usually after about 6-8 minutes of cooking. They should be soft but not mushy.
Yes, you can store Bircher muesli in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. However, add the caramelized apples and almonds just before serving to maintain their freshness and crunch.
You can substitute honey with maple syrup, agave nectar, or any other liquid sweetener of your choice. Adjust the amount to taste.
A medium-sized skillet is ideal for caramelizing the apples. This allows enough surface area for even cooking and caramelization.
Tips:
- Prepare the oats mixture the night before to save time in the morning and allow the oats to soak up the flavors better.
- Use a crisp apple variety like Granny Smith for the caramelized apples for a nice contrast with the sweetness of the maple syrup and honey.
- Chop the almonds coarsely if you prefer more texture in your muesli.
- If you prefer a vegan option, substitute the honey with agave syrup and the butter with a plant-based alternative.
