There’s nothing quite like the aroma of apple cinnamon oatmeal wafting through the house on a crisp morning. It reminds me of my childhood, visiting my grandparents’ farm, where mornings were never complete without a hearty bowl of oatmeal, spiced with cinnamon and dotted with freshly picked apples. It’s a simple dish, but it carries so much warmth and comfort.
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk or water
- 1 apple, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- Optional toppings: nuts, seeds, dried fruit
Before starting, make sure you have all your ingredients ready. This will make the cooking process smoother and faster.
In a medium saucepan, mix together the oats and your choice of milk or water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Once the mixture starts to simmer, add the diced apple, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Continue to cook over low heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oats are soft and the mixture has thickened to your liking.
Remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup or honey. Serve hot, garnished with your choice of toppings like nuts, seeds, or dried fruit.
