In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, water, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat until the mixture begins to gently simmer.
Stir in the rolled oats, diced apple, raisins, and ground cinnamon. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
Simmer the oatmeal for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender, the apples have softened, and the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency.

Divide the oatmeal into two bowls. Top with chopped nuts or other favorite toppings, if desired, and serve warm.
