Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 small Apple
- 1 cup Milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions
Peel and dice the small apple into small cubes.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the rolled oats, diced apple, milk, water, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a small pinch of salt.
Stir to ensure all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Microwave the mixture on high for 2-3 minutes, stopping to stir halfway through the cooking time to prevent overflow and ensure even cooking.
Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot!) and stir the oatmeal again to evenly distribute the softened apple pieces.
If desired, top with chopped walnuts or pecans and raisins or dried cranberries for added texture and flavor.
Let the oatmeal cool slightly before serving, then enjoy your warm, apple pie-inspired breakfast!
