Recipe Tips:
This recipe is made 10x better when you make it on the stovetop vs microwave. You can microwave it but the texture of stovetop oats is just so much thicker and creamier!
I heated up the milk and oats together before adding in the spices and maple syrup. I sauteed the apples in a skillet while the oats cooked. I made a double batch of this cinnamon apple oatmeal but you can definitely cut this recipe in half!
