Serving: Top your oatmeal with additional toppings such as chopped nuts, raisins, or a dollop of yogurt for added texture and flavor. You can also sprinkle a little extra cinnamon or nutmeg on top for a spiced kick.
Storage: Leftover oatmeal can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk or water to loosen it up. The cinnamon apples can be stored in a separate container for up to 2 days in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave or stovetop when ready to serve.
Variants
Vegan Oatmeal with Apples: Use plant-based milk (such as almond or oat milk) and coconut oil in place of butter for a vegan version.
Caramelized Apples: For a richer, more indulgent version, cook the apples with a small amount of brown sugar to caramelize them.
Add-ins: Stir in chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds for a crunchy element, or add a spoonful of peanut butter or almond butter for extra creaminess and protein.
