Ingredients
  

For the Oatmeal
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats Use certified gluten-free if needed.
  • 2 cups Milk or Water Almond, oat, or dairy milk all work well.
  • 1 medium Apple Honeycrisp or Granny Smith, diced.
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg Optional
  • 1 tbsp Pure Maple Syrup Adjust to your desired sweetness.
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pinch Salt

Equipment

  • 1 Saucepan
  • 1 Measuring Cups and Spoons

Method
 

  1. Prep the Apples: Wash, core, and dice one medium apple. No need to peel it.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
