A simple bowl combining oatmeal with apple pie flavors for breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup water or milk
- 1 medium apple, diced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1 teaspoon butter or coconut oil
Instructions
- Combine oats and water or milk in a small saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low.
- Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed and the oats are cooked.
- While the oats cook, melt the butter or oil in a separate small pan over medium heat.
- Add the diced apple, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the pan.
- Cook the apples for 5 minutes, stirring until they soften slightly and the sugar dissolves.
- Pour the cooked oats into a serving bowl.
- Top the oats with the warm spiced apples.

Notes
- You can use apple juice instead of water for extra sweetness.
- For a thicker consistency, use less liquid.
- Add a splash of vanilla extract to the apples while cooking for more flavor.
