I have yet to find a replacement for the dried peach-flavoured apple bits (they are not actual pieces of peach) that you get in peaches and cream flavoured oatmeal.
I have used milk powder to add creaminess and that works great, but I can’t seem to find a suitable stand-in for the fruit. It’s literally the only flavour I like but I’m worried frozen peaches wouldn’t provide the same texture and the chunks would be too big.
Dno but you could freeze your own ice cube trays of peach pureee in the summer and keep some around. Should easily dethaw in oatmeal if you froth it before freezing.
Thanks, but I don’t really want puree, I want like little discrete bits of fruit. I’ll have to see if maybe I can soak some dried apple bits in peach flavouring or something. It’s just annoying. :B

Can you cut apples that small?
I know there are dehydrators that can do the job, but an oven set on low might help too. (Unless the pieces are supposed to be freeze-dried.)
I wonder if you can use some peach flavor or peach syrup to sweeten the cooked oatmeal.
Or even take the apple, soak it in peach juice, then dehydrate.
Interesting thing to think about, but when it comes to things like this I just tend to buy whatever it is.
I have a Bulk Barn nearby (Canadian bulk ingredients retailer) and they have dehydrated apple pieces that are roughly the size I want.
I’m thinking of soaking them in peach flavouring, letting it air dry for a couple of days, and seeing what happens.
