Ingredients:
- 1 apple
- 2 cups nonfat or 1% milk or water
- 1 cup quick cooking or old fashioned rolled oats
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄8 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:
Rinse the apple, remove the core and cut into small chunks.
Bring the water or milk to a boil in a saucepan.
Add the oatmeal, salt and apple chunks. Cook over medium heat for 1 minute if using quick cooking oats or 7 to 10 minutes if using old fashioned rolled oats. Stir a couple times while cooking.

To increase the apple flavor, use apple juice for all or part of the water. Mixing apple juice with milk may cause milk to curdle. Recipe adapted from Nutrition Matters.
