Instructions

  1. Bring the water and salt to a rolling boil.
  2. Stir in oats, reduce heat to medium and cook 1 minute, stirring occasionally. (If using old fashioned oats, cook a 3-5 minutes).
  3. If you would like your apples slightly cooked, add to oatmeal about halfway through cooking time.
  4. Cover, remove from heat, and let sit 2-3 minutes.
  5. Serve with milk, diced apple, sliced almonds and maple syrup.
  6. To roast almonds, spread in an ungreased baking pan.
  7. Place in a 350ºF oven and bake 7-10 minutes or until almonds are fragrant; stir once or twice to get an even browning. Almonds will continue to roast slightly after removing from oven.
