Toasted Coconut Chips

• ¼ cup coconut chips

1. To make the porridge, add the oats, milk and spices to a medium pot over high heat. Boil for 5 minutes while stirring occasionally. Reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes or until the porridge reaches your desired consistency. Add more milk or water for a thinner porridge.
2. To toast the coconut chips, add all ingredients to a small saucepan over medium heat. Continuously stir until the coconut is fragrant. Set aside.
3. To caramelise the apples, add the apple and sugar to a small saucepan over high heat. Sauté for 5 minutes, add a dash of water then reduce to medium heat. Cook until the apples have softened and turned golden brown.
