Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
Creamy oatmeal cooked with sautéed apples, cinnamon, and warm spices.
Ingredients

1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium crisp apple, about 1 1/2 cups diced
2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
pinch of salt
2 cups milk of choice
1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or sliced almonds

Instructions

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced apple and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.

Add the maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Stir to coat the apples and cook for another 2 minutes.

Pour in the milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the oats and reduce heat to low.

Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and creamy.

Remove from heat and serve topped with chopped walnuts or sliced almonds.

Notes

Use any crisp apple variety: Honeycrisp, Cosmic Crisp, or Gala work well.
For a creamier texture, use whole milk.
To make it vegan, use coconut oil, almond milk, and maple syrup.
