My kids love the packets of apple cinnamon oatmeal, but I always feel funny about them. Like, what is really in them? And, oatmeal is so easy to make, does it really need a shortcut? I get the whole traveling, camping utility of oatmeal packets, but I also like knowing I can spell everything in the food I serve my family. So, I came up with this recipe as an alternative. This is super quick and tastes so fresh. Right away you'll notice the true apple taste is nothing like the store bought flavor.
Ingredients
2 Apples
2 Tbsp. Brown Sugar
3/4 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
1 C. Oatmeal
2 1/4 C. Water
2 pinches Salt
Instructions
Peel apples and grate them over a medium sauce pan. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, oatmeal, water and salt and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to medium low. Cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes or until water is absorbed.
Makes 2 large servings, 4 kid-size.
