Maple Apple Almond Oatmeal

• 2 cups water
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup quick oats (or old fashioned oats)
• 1 cup almond milk (use amount desired.....or soy milk or cow's milk)
• 1 granny smith apple, diced (or apple of choice)
• 3 tablespoons real maple syrup
• 6 tablespoons sliced almonds, roasted

1. Bring the water and salt to a rolling boil.
2. Stir in oats, reduce heat to medium and cook 1 minute, stirring occasionally. (If using old fashioned oats, cook a 3-5 minutes).
3. If you would like your apples slightly cooked, add to oatmeal about halfway through cooking time.
4. Cover, remove from heat, and let sit 2-3 minutes.
5. Serve with milk, diced apple, sliced almonds and maple syrup.
6. To roast almonds, spread in an ungreased baking pan.
7. Place in a 350u0b0F oven and bake 7-10 minutes or until almonds are fragrant; stir once or twice to get an even browning. Almonds will continue to roast slightly after removing from oven.
