It is just starting to turn seasons from summer to fall. We have had a full day or two that have given us a preview to the glorious weather that comes with the changing of colors. Each day it gets just a bit cooler, with the final heat of summer hitting us in the middle of the day, but everything fall is becoming more and more attractive to me.
One taste of fall that I love is apples. One autumn when we were living in Pittsburgh we went to a little farm and they had samples of apples of all sorts of varieties. It was just what my dreams are made of. One of my favorite things to do with apples is put them in oatmeal. I like to cook them down with the oatmeal so they are nice and soft. Add some cinnamon and raisins, and it is the coziest breakfast or dessert.
Here is how I make one of my favorite oatmeal bowls!
APPLE CINNAMON RAISIN OATMEAL BOWL
1/2 Cup of Oatmeal
1 Apple, peeled, cored, and cubed
1/4 Cup of Raisins
1/2 t. Cinnamon
Cook the oatmeal according to the package instructions on the stove. While the oatmeal is cooking, peel, core, and cube the apples into bite-sized chunks.
When the oatmeal is almost finished, add the apples and raisins to the pot along with a few tablespoons of extra water. Cook the apple down and allow the raisins to plump until the oatmeal is finished cooking. Add extra water until apples soften nicely.
Mix in the cinnamon, serve, and enjoy!
