  • 950 ml milk or water
  • 2 apples, diced
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 40 g chopped walnuts, optional

How to cook

  2. Stir in oats and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring, until creamy.
  3. Rest for 2 minutes and serve with optional walnuts and extra milk.
