Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup water
• 1 medium, diced apple
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons, plus extra for drizzling (optional) caramel sauce
• 2 tablespoons, optional chopped pecans or walnuts
• 0 optional for topping whipped cream

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, water, ground cinnamon, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Step 2

Stir in the rolled oats and diced apple. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 3

In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until it dissolves and begins to bubble, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Pour the caramelized sugar mixture into the oatmeal and stir well to combine.

Step 5

Cook the oatmeal for another 3-5 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency. Stir in the vanilla extract and caramel sauce.

Step 6

Remove the oatmeal from heat and divide it evenly between two bowls.

Step 7

Top each bowl with a drizzle of additional caramel sauce, a sprinkling of chopped nuts, and a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, caramel-infused apple oatmeal!
