Method
- Prep the Apples: Wash, core, and dice one medium apple. No need to peel it.
- Sauté the Apples: In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the diced apples and a tablespoon of water. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they soften slightly. Stir in the cinnamon and nutmeg and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Cook the Oatmeal: Add the rolled oats and your liquid of choice (milk or water) to the saucepan with the apples. Add a pinch of salt and stir to combine.
- Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oatmeal reaches your desired thickness.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Serve warm, topped with extra apple slices or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
