Maple Apple Almond Oatmeal - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup quick oats (or old fashioned oats)
1 cup almond milk (use amount desired.....or soy milk or cow's milk)
1 granny smith apple, diced (or apple of choice)
3 tablespoons real maple syrup
6 tablespoons sliced almonds, roasted

Preparation

Bring the water and salt to a rolling boil.
Stir in oats, reduce heat to medium and cook 1 minute, stirring occasionally. (If using old fashioned oats, cook a 3-5 minutes).
If you would like your apples slightly cooked, add to oatmeal about halfway through cooking time.
Cover, remove from heat, and let sit 2-3 minutes.
Serve with milk, diced apple, sliced almonds and maple syrup.
To roast almonds, spread in an ungreased baking pan.
Place in a 350\u00b0F oven and bake 7-10 minutes or until almonds are fragrant; stir once or twice to get an even browning. Almonds will continue to roast slightly after removing from oven.
