Apple Pie Oatmeal

I am a big oatmeal fan, if you didn’t know. It’s a simple, filling breakfast with endless possibilities for flavor. You can switch it up a million ways – what spices you use, what fruit / nut you add, what kind of milk you use, maybe you want to add cocoa, a splash of vanilla, a heap of peanut butter… the list goes on and on! Personally, I had an extra granny smith apple in the fridge and needed to use it, and a quick search of one of my favorite sites led me to this gem. What’s great about this apple pie oatmeal is that it actually tastes like apple pie (that is, not oatmeal with apples in it)!
