Optional Toppings: Maple syrup, milk of your choice
Instructions
In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Once boiling, add in rolled oats, spices and a pinch of sea salt.
Reduce heat to a low-medium and gently cook oats, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes or until oats are creamy. If you like your oats a little runnier or softer, simply add a bit more water until the desired consistency is reached
With 2 minutes remaining in the cooking time, add in the diced apple. Stir the apples into the oatmeal to ensure everything is well-combined, and finish cooking to allow apples to soften slightly.
You can also reserve some extra apple pieces to add on top once the oatmeal is done cooking.
Once oats are done cooking, transfer them to a bowl and top with a little drizzle of maple syrup and a splash of milk of your choice.
