The combination of apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg makes this hot breakfast a wonderful fall-inspired meal that's perfect to eat as the temperatures start to drop. It takes about just 15 minutes to make and serves just enough for a hearty breakfast for two. Farina is a type of milled wheat that's usually used to make porridge and is a great alternative to oatmeal. We definitely recommend doubling the recipe to reheat later in the week. But farina can also be cooked like polenta if you have some extra left over. To mix things up a bit, feel free to swap a pear for the apple, if desired.
