Ingredients for Apple Walnut Oatmeal

  • 1 medium apple (chopped)
  • ½ cup apple juice
  • Quick Cooking Oats
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • a pinch of salt
  • ½ cup walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or to taste)
  • Vanilla Extract

How to Make Apple Walnut Oatmeal

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 medium apple (chopped), ½ cup apple juice, 1 cup rolled oats, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup walnuts, 1 tablespoon honey (or to taste), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes to allow the oats to fully absorb the liquid and soften.
  6. Serve warm. Optionally, add a splash of milk or cream for extra richness.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
