Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk
- 1 medium apple
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Start by preparing the apple. Core and dice the apple into small cubes, leaving the skin on for added texture and nutrition.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, diced apple, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches a gentle boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and allow the oats to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of creaminess and the apples have softened.
Stir in the vanilla extract and cook for an additional minute, then remove the pan from heat.
Divide the oats into two serving bowls. Top each with a sprinkle of chopped walnuts for added crunch and a dash more of ground cinnamon, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty and flavorful apple and cinnamon oats.
