Apple Pie Oatmeal

Source: This site, via Pinterest

Ingredients:
1 apple, cored and chopped (skins on)
1 cup water
1/2 cup quick cooking oats
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Directions:
Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan. Then add the oats, apple, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Adjust the heat to low and let the oatmeal is simmer for 2-3 minutes while you stir and feel hungry. That's all there is to it. Serve it with a splash of milk and a little or a lot of brown sugar sprinkled on top.  Serves one hungry adult or two lucky children.

Notes:
Gregg is a big oatmeal eater in the mornings, and I've become so, too.  Usually we just have some brown sugar, raisins and a sprinkle of cinnamon stirred in, but we had some diced fresh peaches mixed in one day that were divine and left me wanting to find some other fun variations on the theme.  I found this (and others including this version of peaches and cream oatmeal and banana coconut oatmeal that I'm excited to try) when I was snooping around Pinterest one day.  Good stuff!
