Homemade Apple Spice Oatmeal

This is my daughter's favorite fall breakfast:

1 cup organic oats (I purchase at the bulk bins in Whole Foods)
2 cups water

Step 1: Boil water and oats gently until most water is soaked up into oats.

Step 2: Lower the heat and add:

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk (we use raw milk)
1 T butter (grass-fed, organic butter)

Step 3: Cook low until steaming.

Step 4: Add

1 Tb raw honey**
1-2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla

Step 5: Cover and cook on low heat.

**If your children as used to packaged oatmeal that has lots of sugar - you can add some stevia to this to sweeten it up even more.  We find it plenty sweet just like it is!

Step 6:

Add the Cinnamon Apples

I simply cut up a whole apple into small pieces.  Add the apple, 1 Tb of butter, 2-3 teaspoons of cinnamon, and a little water to a pan.  Stir and cook until apples are softened.  Add these to the oatmeal and stir to combine.

Serve right away!
