Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Toss 1 diced large apple with 1 tbsp unsalted butter and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon in a small baking dish. Roast for 20 minutes until soft and caramelized.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, bring 2 cups water and 1/4 tsp salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in 1 cup rolled oats and reduce heat to medium-low.
  3. Step 3: Cook oats uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until creamy and most liquid is absorbed.
  4. Step 4: Remove the roasted apples from oven and stir them along with 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and the remaining 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon into the oatmeal. Cook together for 1 more minute to combine flavors.
  5. Step 5: Serve warm, optionally topped with a splash of milk or a sprinkle of nuts.
