Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1.5 cups milk
- 0.5 cups water
- 1 whole golden delicious apple
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and chop the golden delicious apple into small cubes.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped apple, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apple pieces are tender and caramelized.
Step 3
Once the apples are done, transfer them to a small bowl and set aside.
Step 4
In the same saucepan, add the rolled oats, milk, water, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Step 5
Lower the heat to medium-low and let the oatmeal simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until it reaches your desired thickness.
Step 6
Once the oatmeal is cooked, divide it between two bowls.
Step 7
Top each bowl with the caramelized apples and, if desired, sprinkle with chopped nuts and drizzle with maple syrup or honey.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy your Golden Delicious Oatmeal!
