Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture.
2 cups milk or dairy alternative Almond or oat milk can be used for a dairy-free option.
1 medium fresh apple (diced)
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp brown sugar (or honey/maple syrup) Adjust according to taste.
1 pinch salt Enhances flavor.

Optional Toppings

nuts, seeds, or dried fruits Use for added texture and flavor.

Method

Preparation

In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats and milk. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat while stirring occasionally.
Once thickened (about 5 minutes), add the diced apples, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Stir well.
Let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes until the apples are tender and flavors meld together.
Serve warm in bowls, topped with optional nuts, seeds, or dried fruits.

Notes

For lighter versions, substitute brown sugar with natural sweeteners and use unsweetened applesauce. Reheat leftovers with a splash of milk.
