Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

• 4 cups water
• 2 cups quick-cooking oats
• 1 large honeycrisp apple, diced
• 3 dashes cinnamon
• 3 -4 tablespoons brown sugar or 3 -4 tablespoons other artificial sweetener
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 2 cups of quick cooking oats. Cook according to directions on the box.
2. While water is boiling and oats are cooking, slice apple.
3. Chop apple.
4. Place chopped apple into a bowl and add a few dashes of cinnamon, enough to cover the top layer of apples.
5. Add 1 teaspoon lemon juice and the brown sugar.
6. Mix together the apples and sweeteners.
7. When the oatmeal has thickened and is gently bubbling (over medium-high heat) -- drop in the apples.
8. Once all the apples are into the oatmeal -- Stir them in and cook for 1-5 minutes. If you want crisper apples, just cook for a minute. If you want softer apples, cook for 5 minutes. If you want medium-crispy-medium-soft apples, cook for 3 minutes. You get the idea, right?.
9. Serve Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal.
