Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Grater

Ingredients

½ cup rolled oats

1 cup milk or water

1 small apple, grated or finely diced

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon honey, plus more to drizzle

Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Combine the oats, milk, grated apple, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan.

    2. Simmer over medium-low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and the apple has softened.

      3. Stir in the honey off the heat, then taste and adjust the sweetness.

        4. Serve warm with a few apple slices on top and an extra drizzle of honey if you like.

          Notes

          Leave the apple skin on for extra fiber and a bit of color. It softens completely during cooking, so texture isn't an issue.
