Chef's Note
For a toddler-friendly version, you can dice the apples smaller and reduce the cinnamon slightly. The yogurt adds a protein boost while keeping this breakfast creamy and satisfying. You can prepare the apple mixture the night before and reheat in the morning with a splash of extra milk for a quicker weekday breakfast.

Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup milk (2%)
1 cup water
2 medium apples
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
1 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- 1
Wash, core, and dice 2 medium apples into small cubes (about 1/2 inch pieces).
- 2
In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- 3
Add the diced apples to the pan and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Cook for about 5 minutes until the apples begin to soften, stirring occasionally.

Add 1 cup of rolled oats to the pan and stir to coat with the apple mixture.
- 5
Pour in 1 cup of milk and 1 cup of water, then add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- 6
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oats are tender and the mixture has thickened.
- 7
While the oatmeal cooks, toast 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until fragrant, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- 8
In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons of honey until well combined.
- 9
Once the oatmeal is cooked, stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Divide the oatmeal between two bowls, top each with half of the honey-yogurt mixture and sprinkle with the toasted walnuts.
