Useful advice
Cooking tip
If the apples are naturally very sweet, you can completely skip the sugar to make this morning bowl even healthier.
How to serve
Serve the oatmeal piping hot in deep bowls, dusting the surface with a pinch of extra cinnamon and garnishing with thin apple slices.
How to store
Oatmeal is best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 24 hours and reheated with a splash of milk.
Note
Use quick-cooking oats for a smoother texture or old-fashioned rolled oats for a heartier bite, adding 10 minutes to the simmering process.
