A warm and comforting oatmeal recipe with a delightful blend of apples, nuts, and spices.
Dice the fresh apple into small cubes.
Use a sharp knife for even cuts and to make the process quicker.
In a saucepan, combine the diced apple, oats, ground cinnamon, salt, and almond milk.
Stir the mixture well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it starts to boil.
Keep an eye on the mixture to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Simmering allows the oats to absorb the liquid and become creamy.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped walnuts, honey, and vanilla extract.
Adding these ingredients off the heat preserves their flavors and textures.
Serve the oatmeal warm, garnished with additional nuts or a drizzle of honey if desired.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
