Servings: 1 serving
Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup water
- ⅓ cup milk (use whole or reduced fat)
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 medium apple -peeled, cored, and diced
Instructions
- In a 1-quart saucepan, bring the milk, water, and salt to a boil over high heat.
- Stir in the oats, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and most of the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat, cover, and set aside.
- In an 8-inch skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg; cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the chopped apple and stir to coat.
- Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring often, until the apples are soft.
- Stir the apple mixture into the oatmeal and serve.
Notes
- Use Old-Fashioned Oats: They hold their shape and give the oatmeal a heartier texture.
- Cut Apples Evenly: Small, uniform pieces cook faster and more evenly.
- Don’t Skip the Butter: It helps caramelize the apples and adds rich flavor.
- Stir the Oats: Stir occasionally while cooking to prevent sticking and ensure a creamy consistency.
