Whole milk, cream, or yogurt, for serving(optional)
Instructions
Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Add apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg; stir until coated.
Sauté over medium heat until diced apples are soft (about 5 minutes, depending on how small you chopped them). Add the almonds and stir to coat everything in the butter and spices.
Add water and salt. Bring to a boil.
Add oats, stir once, and remove from heat and cover. Let sit covered for 15-20 minutes, or until oats have fully absorbed the water. Stir in maple syrup (2 tablespoons).
When finished, serve with a splash of whole milk, cream, or yogurt on top (optional).
Notes
Save leftovers in the fridge for about a week for easy breakfast meal prep. If you reheat in the microwave, you may need to add more water because it tends to dry out over time. I like to make a big batch over the weekend, and divide into individual containers. When I am ready to eat, I a couple of tablespoons of water and microwave for one minute.
