Apple Crunch

• 2/3 cup of nine-grain cereal (sold in bulk)
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup apple juice
• Pinch salt
• Granny Smith or Pippin apple, diced (un-peeled)

Bring to a boil: 1 cup of water, 1/2-cup apple juice, and a pinch of salt. Then mix in 2/3 cup of that nine-grain cereal (sold in bulk). After about a minute of cooking, stir in one large Granny Smith or Pippin apple, diced (un-peeled). Cook about five more minutes and top with cinnamon-sugar I think this tastes like some kind of whole-grain hot apple pie batter.

• Yields: 1 or 2 servings
• Preparation Time: About half an hour
