1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg (optional).

1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.

Optional: 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger.

1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt.

Optional: 1/4 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts as a topping.
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat butter or oil in a small pan over medium heat. Toss in the apple chunks, syrup, a bit of salt, cinnamon, and water. Cook while stirring now and then for about 5-7 minutes until the apples soften and look glossy. Scoop out half and save them for later.
02 -
Add oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, sweetener, milk, and water to the pot with the remaining cooked apples. Turn the heat to high until it starts bubbling. Then drop it to medium and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring it every once in a while so it doesn’t stick.
03 -
Adjust sweetness to your liking after tasting. Dish it up with the saved apples on top and maybe sprinkle some nuts. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for no more than 5 days. To reheat, use a pan with a little extra milk or water.
