Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 medium, peeled and finely diced apple
• 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 cups water
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon optional maple syrup or honey (for older babies over 12 months)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely dice the medium apple into small cubes suitable for a baby’s consumption.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, diced apple, water, and cinnamon.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the ingredients together gently.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Step 5

Let the oatmeal cook for about 7-8 minutes, or until the oats have softened and the apple pieces are tender.

Step 6

Stir in the milk during the last minute of cooking for a creamier texture. Continue stirring until everything is well combined.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the oatmeal cool slightly before serving. Use a spoon to mash the apple pieces further if needed to make the texture more baby-friendly.

Step 8

For babies over 12 months, you can drizzle a small amount of maple syrup or honey to add a touch of sweetness, but this step is optional.

Step 9

Serve the oatmeal warm, ensuring it's at a safe temperature for your little one to enjoy.
