Caramel Apple Oatmeal

The end result of this recipe was fine, but just too sweet and thick for me. I had several issues. The apple mixture is good, but I cooked it more like 4-5 minutes so the apples weren't so crunchy. I used half and half because that much cream sounded like it would be too thick. Be careful adding the cream in; mine started to seize up and stick to the pan when the cold liquid hit the hot sugar. I took it off the heat to add the remaining in. 2 cups of liquid is not enough for 2 cups of oats. The recipe doesn’t say whether to use regular or quick oats. Since it states to cook only 2 minutes, I used quick oats. I had to add more than a cup more of regular milk to thin it out. I added some salt also. Again, the end result I got was good--very rich, sweet and creamy even after using half and half and milk.
