Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 cups milk
• 1 medium apple
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the apple. Core and dice the apple into small cubes, leaving the skin on for added texture and nutrition.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, diced apple, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches a gentle boil.

Step 4

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and allow the oats to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of creaminess and the apples have softened.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract and cook for an additional minute, then remove the pan from heat.

Step 6

Divide the oats into two serving bowls. Top each with a sprinkle of chopped walnuts for added crunch and a dash more of ground cinnamon, if desired.

Step 7

Serve warm and enjoy your hearty and flavorful apple and cinnamon oats.
