Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Fresh apple, finely diced (any variety)
- 1 cup Water or milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar or maple syrup (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Instructions
Add the rolled oats, diced apple, water or milk, brown sugar (if using), ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to a microwave-safe bowl.
Stir all the ingredients well to combine evenly.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1-2 minutes, stopping to stir halfway through to ensure even cooking. Be careful as the bowl may get hot.
Check the consistency and cook for an additional 15-30 seconds if needed until the oats are soft and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave and let the oatmeal cool slightly for 1 minute.
Stir again before serving. If desired, top with chopped nuts, raisins, or additional cinnamon.
Serve warm and enjoy your instant apple oatmeal!
