"Baked" Apple Oatmeal

Title explanation: have you ever had baked oatmeal? Well this is just like it, except you can make it on the stove AND you don't have to use eggs! This is the best part for me since I can't eat real baked oatmeal due to the amount of eggs used in the recipes I've found. This recipe is meant to be served with milk as if it was real baked oatmeal or a breakfast cereal.

Ingredients

5-6 peeled and diced apples

1 Tablespoon butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

3 cups water

4 cups oatmeal, not quick oats!

Directions

1. Peel and dice apples

2. Cook apples on medium-high with butter, sugar and vanilla. This will take anywhere from 7-10 minutes.

3. Once the apples are cooked turn the heat to high. Add the water.

4. Bring the water to a boil.

5. Add in oatmeal and stir until all the oatmeal is coated in the water mix.

6. Turn down the heat to 3-4. Cook 5-7 minutes or until oatmeal is ready to eat.

7. Serve hot/warm with milk.
