Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 cups Water
- 1 medium-sized, peeled, cored, and diced Apple
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional, such as almonds or walnuts)
Instructions
Begin by peeling, coring, and dicing a medium-sized apple into small cubes.
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of rolled oats with 2 cups of water.
Add the diced apple, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until the oats have absorbed most of the water and reach your desired consistency.
Stir in 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix well to incorporate the flavor throughout the oatmeal.
If desired, add the optional 2 tablespoons of chopped nuts for a crunchy texture.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the oats sit for a minute to thicken.
Serve the Apple and Cinnamon Oats warm, dividing between two bowls.
