Apples in porridge with maple syrup is an amazing combination! I love any fruit with maple syrup in porridge or oatmeal but the apples really gives it that extra crunch, fiber, and flavour! This apple buckwheat porridge would be great for colder mornings too as I find porridge is a comforting thing to eat on a cold morning, so this is a recipe that would be great for the winter but of course can be enjoyed during any season especially since apples are popular all year round!
