Chef's Note
For extra creaminess, try using half water and half milk when cooking the oats. You can prepare the apple mixture the night before and reheat it in the morning to save time. Steel-cut oats can be substituted for a chewier texture, but will require about 25-30 minutes of cooking time.

2 cups rolled oats
3 cups water

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- 1
Wash, core, and dice 2 medium apples into small cubes (about 1/4 inch). Leave the skin on for extra fiber and texture.

In a medium saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are slightly softened but still have some bite.

In a large pot, combine 2 cups of rolled oats, 3 cups of water, 1 cup of milk, remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Reduce heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until oats are tender and mixture has thickened to your desired consistency.

Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Divide the oatmeal among four serving bowls. Top each bowl with the cinnamon apple mixture.
