Instructions:
- If they're not already, core the apples and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Rinse the raspberries under cold water and set them aside to dry.
- In a large pot, add the 2 cups of oats, 3 cups of milk, and 2 cups of water.
- Stir well to combine and ensure the oats are well dispersed in the liquid.

- About halfway through the cooking time (around 5-8 minutes in), add the chopped apples to the pot.
- Stir the apples into the porridge, allowing them to cook until soft.
- Once the porridge has reached your desired consistency and the apples are tender, add the 1/3 cup of maple syrup.
- Stir well to incorporate the syrup throughout the porridge.
- Scoop the porridge into serving bowls.
- Top each bowl with a generous handful of fresh raspberries for a burst of color and fresh flavour.
- You may want to drizzle a little extra maple syrup on top of each serving, or sprinkle with some additional fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds for added texture and taste.
