Apple Oatmeal

Method

1. In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water and salt to a boil. Stir in the rolled oats, reduce heat to medium-low, and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally for a creamy texture.
2. While the oats are simmering, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced apple and cook until they begin to soften. Stir in the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for the full 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the sugar has caramelized slightly.
3. When the oats are done, stir in the cooked apples and vanilla paste, mixing well to combine. Remove from heat and let the oatmeal rest for 2 minutes to absorb the flavors.
4. Serve warm and enjoy!
