How to Make Apple Cinnamon Walnut Oatmeal
- In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats, water (or milk), and salt.
- 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.
- Add the diced apple and continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes, until the apples are tender.
- Stir in the ground cinnamon, chopped walnuts, and maple syrup (or honey, if using).
- Remove from heat and let the oatmeal sit for a minute or two to thicken slightly.
- Serve warm and enjoy! Optional toppings include extra cinnamon, chopped nuts, dried fruit, or a dollop of yogurt.
