Apple Pie Oatmeal (1 serving) 1 cup water (or milk for creamier oatmeal) 1/2 cup old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats 1/8 teaspoon salt 2 Tablespoons chopped apple 1 Tablespoon brown sugar 1/8 teaspoon apple pie spice (or cinnamon) 2 teaspoons chopped walnuts or pecans (optional) In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Stir in the oats and salt. As soon as the water begins to boil again, reduce the heat to a simmer. Continue cooking - stirring occasionally - for 5 minutes or until you get your desired consistency. In a small bowl, combine the chopped apple, brown sugar and spice. Stir until the apples are coated with sugar. Dollop oatmeal into a serving bowl and top with the apple mixture and, if desired, crushed nuts. For a more complete (although nutritionally inadvisable) apple pie experience, top it all off with a heaping Tablespoon of vanilla ice cream. You can make your own apple pie spice at home by combining 4 teaspoons cinnamon, 2 teaspoons nutmeg and 1 teaspoon cardamom. Mr Breakfast would like to thank kidpancake for this recipe.
