Deluxe Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

I don't know about you, but I am not a big fan of oatmeal :( I know it's good for me but its kinda got a weird texture and is not as tasty as lucky charms! Deluxe gourmet apple oatmeal is my solution....and now my kids will not eat it any other way :) What I love most about this is that it is so simple and tasty.

Here is what you need:

• 1 apple
• 3 1/2 cups water
• 2 cups oatmeal
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 tsp almond extract
• 1 tbsp cinnamon
• brown sugar
• slivered almonds
• walnut topping

* Variations we like: skip the apple (prepare everything else as stated) and after the oatmeal is done cut up banana slices over the top. Sometimes we also like to add a little shredded coconut.

* makes 4 generous servings

Cook:

1. Put water and vanilla & almond extracts in pan on high, bring to a boil.

2. While you are waiting on water to boil, peel and cut your apple into little cubes and set aside.

3. Once water is boiling add oatmeal and cinnamon, stir.

4. Add apple when oatmeal is almost done cooking (we want them to still be a little crunchy). Mix well and let it finish cooking.

5. Separate into 4 bowls, add your desired amount of brown sugar and mix well. Then top with almonds and walnuts and enjoy the tastiness!
