Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Rolled oats
  • 1 cup Water or milk
  • 1/2 medium Apple Peeled and diced
  • 1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Maple syrup or brown sugar Optional, for sweetness
  • 1 pinch Salt

Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Combine the oats, water or milk, diced apple, cinnamon, and salt in a small saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are cooked and the liquid is mostly absorbed. The apple pieces should soften.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the maple syrup or brown sugar, if you are using it.
  5. Pour the oatmeal into a bowl and serve immediately.

Notes

You can substitute rolled oats with quick oats, which will reduce the cooking time slightly. If you prefer a creamier texture, use milk instead of water.
