Cooking Instructions

• In a small saucepan combine diced apples, maple syrup and cinnamon and saute for a few minutes until apples are soft and look similar to baked apples. Set aside.
• Add oats, water, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla and salt to a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring mixture to a low boil, reduce heat to a low simmer and continue to cook for about 5-7 minutes; stirring occasionally. Oatmeal is ready when the oats have soaked up most of the liquid and are creamy.
• Transfer to a bowl and top with cinnamon apples, pecans, a sprinkle of cinnamon and additional sweetener if needed.
