About this recipe
Apple and cinnamon semolina with nuts and fresh fruit Thermomix TM7 recipes bring a warm, comforting classic straight to your kitchen with modern convenience. This creamy semolina, gently cooked in almond milk and infused with ground cinnamon and apple sauce, makes an ideal quick breakfast or a soothing dessert on a chilly evening. Searching for recipes with your all-in-one kitchen machine means you can weigh the semolina and dark sugar directly in the mixing bowl, grind whole cinnamon and mixed nuts fresh for maximum aroma, and let the TM7 heat and stir the semolina to a lump-free, velvety consistency while you chop the fresh fruit. Sweet Medjool dates dissolve into the warm porridge, adding natural caramel notes without effort. Whether you prepare it for a leisurely weekend breakfast, a child-friendly after-school snack or a light vegetarian dessert, this semolina delivers consistent results every single time you cook it.
Preparation tips
- Grind the mixed whole nuts coarsely rather than finely, so they keep a pleasant crunch against the creamy semolina; reserve a spoonful to scatter over the bowls just before serving for extra texture.
- Pit and chop the Medjool dates small before adding them to the mixing bowl, so they melt evenly into the warm semolina and distribute their caramel sweetness throughout instead of clumping together.
- For a child-friendly version, replace the dark sugar with vanilla sugar and serve the semolina lukewarm with banana and apple pieces; the almond milk keeps the recipe lactose-free for sensitive tummies.
Recipe variations
- Seasonal variation: swap the mixed fresh fruit for poached pear and pomegranate seeds in winter, or strawberries and peach in summer, keeping the cinnamon semolina base and toasted nuts identical.
- Festive variation: add a pinch of grated nutmeg and orange zest to the semolina, caramelize the dark sugar with the dates for a deeper flavour, and finish with flaked almonds and a dusting of ground cinnamon.
