What kind of apple?
Almost any apple variety works here.

This recipe is adapted from my Banana Oatmeal and calls for Old Fashioned or Irish Rolled Oats. Quick oats or instant oats can be substituted in equal amounts.

How to make apple pie oatmeal
Place rolled oats, diced apple, cinnamon, salt, milk of choice, and optional sweetener in a medium saucepan.
Bring to a boil, then continue cooking the stovetop apple cinnamon oatmeal over medium-low heat. It will thicken, so stir well to avoid sticking.
Once the porridge is thick, divide it into bowls and serve hot with your choice of toppings.
Once the oatmeal has cooled, refrigerate the remaining oatmeal in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
If you want to change the recipe to apple overnight oats, make the oatmeal the night before. Allow to cool, then transfer to a covered mason jar or plate. Chill overnight and then serve cold or reheat in the microwave or stovetop with a little extra milk.
I have never made a recipe in an Instant Pot or microwave or turned it into an apple cinnamon slow cooker oatmeal. Please make

sautéed apple cinnamon oats
For a quick morning meal, I like to put everything together in one pot and cook it all at once until thick and creamy.
If you’re feeling ambitious, sauté the cinnamon apples separately for extra flavor and buttery richness using the following method.
Heat a little coconut oil or butter (or vegetable butter) in a small saucepan. Stir in the diced apples and cinnamon and sauté for 5 minutes or until apples are tender.
Sautéed apples go great with vegan pancakes


Using Grams
For those who prefer to use a food scale instead of a measuring cup or spoon, the gram measurement to use is:
480 grams of milk of your choice, 90 grams of rolled oats, 150 grams of diced apples (measured after dicing). Don’t forget the salt and cinnamon.
