How to Make Apple Cinnamon Walnut Oatmeal

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats, water (or milk), and salt.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the oats are cooked through and creamy, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the diced apple and continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes, until the apples are tender.
  4. Stir in the ground cinnamon, chopped walnuts, and maple syrup (or honey, if using).
  5. Remove from heat and let the oatmeal sit for a minute or two to thicken slightly.
  6. Serve warm and enjoy! Optional toppings include extra cinnamon, chopped nuts, dried fruit, or a dollop of yogurt.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
