- 1 c. water
- 1 c. milk
- 2 c. old fashioned oats - not instant
- 2 T. maple syrup
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 apple, cored and chopped
- ½ c. dried fruit - I used a combination of golden raisins, cranberries, cherries, dates, pears, and peaches
- ¼ c. chopped nuts - I used walnuts
Combine the water and milk in a 2 quart or larger saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boi. Stir in the oats and, if desired, a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to medium and cook (uncovered), stirring occasionally.
After 2 minutes of cooking, add the maple syrup, cinnamon, chopped apple, dried fruit, and nuts. Continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the oats are creamy with a bit of bite left in them. Serve hot.
