Warm apple cinnamon oatmeal

Warm apple cinnamon oatmeal is a wholesome and delicious breakfast option that combines the natural sweetness of apples with the warm, comforting flavor of cinnamon. This simple yet nutritious dish is perfect for starting your day on a high note.

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Chop the half apple into small, bite-sized pieces.
2. Heat the Water: Pour the 1/2 cup of water into a small or medium-sized saucepan. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat.
3. Add Oatmeal: Once the water is boiling, stir in the 1/3 cup of multi-grain oatmeal. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add Milk: Pour the 3/4 cup of nonfat milk into the saucepan. Continue to cook the oatmeal, stirring frequently, for an additional 3-5 minutes or until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and reached your desired consistency.
5. Add Cinnamon and Apple: Sprinkle the 1/4 tablespoon of cinnamon into the mixture and stir well to combine. Next, add the chopped apple pieces and stir to distribute them evenly throughout the oatmeal.
6. Cook Until Warm: Allow the oatmeal to cook for another 1-2 minutes, so the apples can warm through and the flavors can meld together. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and to prevent sticking.
7. Serve: Once the oatmeal is fully cooked and the apples are tender, remove the saucepan from heat. Spoon the warm apple cinnamon oatmeal into a bowl.
8. Optional Toppings: You can top your oatmeal with additional ingredients such as a drizzle of honey, a handful of nuts, or even a sprinkle of granola for added texture.
9. Enjoy Immediately: Serve the oatmeal warm. Enjoy your delicious and wholesome breakfast!

Tips:

- Use fresh, crisp apples for the best texture and flavor. Varieties like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith work particularly well.

- Prepare all your ingredients beforehand for a smooth and efficient cooking process.

- Feel free to add nuts or dried fruits like raisins or cranberries to enhance the texture and nutritional value of the oatmeal.
