Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 1 apple ($0.41)
  • 1 tsp butter ($0.04)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon ($0.05)
  • 1 pinch cloves (optional) ($0.01)
  • 2 cups water ($0.00)
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats ($0.18)
  • 1/8 tsp salt ($0.01)
  • 2 Tbsp dried cranberries ($0.22)
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts ($0.30)
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup ($0.60)

Instruction

  • Chop the apple into ½-inch pieces. Add about ¾ of the apple pieces to a small saucepot with the butter, cinnamon, and cloves. Sauté over medium heat for a few minutes, or just until the apples begin to soften.
  • Add the water to the pot. Place a lid on top, turn the heat up to medium-high, and allow the water to come up to a boil.
  • Once the water reaches a boil, stir in the oats, dried cranberries, and salt. Turn the heat down to medium-low and continue to simmer the oats for about 5 minutes, or until thickened.
  • When the oats have thickened, stir in the chopped walnuts and maple syrup. Taste and adjust the sweetness to your liking. Top with the remaining chopped apples. Serve hot.
