Ingredients
Scale

- 1 medium apple (preferably Honeycrisp or Fuji), diced
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Toppings: Chopped nuts, fresh fruit, or yogurt (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized pot, combine oats, milk (or water), and a pinch of salt.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally.
