Craving apple pie, but no time for baking? Try this quick and easy oatmeal to satisfy that craving in a hearty breakfast. The cinnamon-laced apples only take five minutes and can be sauteed in coconut oil or ghee for a buttery taste.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 apples, peeled and chopped (Pink Lady, Braeburn, Fuji or other sweet apple)
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup water
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 cup almond or other milk

Preparation

In a 2-quart pot, warm the coconut oil over medium-high heat and add the apples. Stir for a minute, then sprinkle with cinnamon, stirring to coat, then stir in water and vanilla. Reduce to medium and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. When the apples are tender, scrape into a bowl.
In the same pan, pour the water and stir in the oats and almond milk. Raise the heat to medium-high to bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer. Cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour the oats into two bowls and top with the apples.
