How to Make Healthy Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), 1/2 cup water, and 1 tablespoon sugar (or to taste).
  2. Chop 1 medium apple into small, thin chunks.
  3. Add the chopped apple and 1/4 cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, or a mix) to the saucepan.
  4. Heat the mixture over medium heat, bringing it to a gentle boil or near-boil.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup whole old-fashioned oats and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Optionally, add 1-2 tablespoons honey, brown sugar, or maple syrup to sweeten further.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy!
