Easy Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
This Easy Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal is a fiber-packed and inexpensive recipe-for-one that’s perfect for your weekday breakfasts! This recipe is for one serving, but if you don’t finish it or if you’re making it in advance for tomorrow’s breakfast, you can store cooked oatmeal in the fridge for a couple of days. Just keep the oatmeal and the apple cinnamon topping in separate, airtight containers.

Ingredients
Oatmeal
Apple Cinnamon Topping
Optional
Instructions
- Step 1
Add the water and salt to a pot on the stove. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer (just below a boil) and add the oats.
- Step 2
Cook the oats for 10 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oatmeal is your desired consistency.
- Step 3
While the oatmeal is still cooking, mix the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl and set aside for about 10 minutes while the oats finish cooking. While the fruit mixture rests, it will give off more liquid which will act as a fruity, lemony syrup for the oats.
- Step 4
Serve the oatmeal with an optional splash of milk (dairy or non-dairy) and the apple cinnamon topping.
