Ingredients

• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 cups Water
• 0.5 cup Milk (optional, for creaminess)
• 1 medium, chopped Apple
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
• 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (optional, for drizzling)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the water, salt, and cinnamon. Heat over medium heat until the mixture begins to simmer.

Step 2

Add the rolled oats to the saucepan and stir well. Lower the heat to medium-low and allow to cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Meanwhile, wash and dice the apple into small chunks (leave the peel on for added fiber or peel if preferred).

Step 4

After the oats have been cooking for 5 minutes, stir in the chopped apple, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Continue cooking the oatmeal and apple mixture for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are creamy and the apple chunks are tender but not mushy.

Step 6

If desired, stir in the milk for a creamier texture and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the oatmeal rest for 1 minute to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Divide the oatmeal into serving bowls and, if desired, top each serving with chopped nuts and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Chunky Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal!
