Main

Method
 

  1. Start by bringing the water or milk to a gentle boil in a medium saucepan.
  2. Once boiling, stir in the rolled oats and salt.
  3. Mix in the diced apple and cinnamon.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes.
  5. After the oats are cooked and the mixture is creamy, stir in the brown sugar or maple syrup.
  6. If using nuts or dried fruit, fold them in at this stage.
  7. Remove from heat and let it sit for a minute.
  8. Serve warm in bowls, and feel free to top with additional apples, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
