Ingredients
  

For the Oatmeal
  • 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats Instant oats can be substituted for a different texture.
  • 2 cups Water or milk Using milk makes it extra creamy.

  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon Increase for a spicier taste.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground nutmeg Optional but recommended.
  • 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey Adjust to taste.
  • a pinch Salt Enhances flavor.
Optional Toppings
  • 1/4 cup Chopped nuts Walnuts or pecans are great options.

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the old-fashioned rolled oats, water or milk, diced apple, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to coat everything evenly.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and let it reach a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the oats are soft and the apples are tender.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat, then stir in maple syrup or honey. Taste and adjust sweetness to your liking.
  5. Allow the oatmeal to sit off the heat for 1 minute to thicken.
  6. Serve warm, topped with your choice of chopped nuts, raisins, or fresh apple slices for extra flavor and crunch.
