    • Additional peanut butter
    • Dried fruit

Instructions

  • Add Apples and Sweetener:
    Stir in the diced apples, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  • Cook:
    Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours, or on high for 3.5 to 4 hours, until the oats are tender and creamy.
  • Serve:
    Spoon into bowls and top with optional garnishes like peanut butter, dried fruit, or mixed nuts for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Customizations: Swap the apples for pears or bananas for a fruity twist, or add a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra warmth.
  • Creamier Oatmeal: Stir in a splash of almond milk just before serving if you prefer a looser consistency.
  • Make It Your Own: Add a scoop of protein powder or chia seeds for an extra nutritional boost.
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk to refresh the texture.
