Instructions
- In a small pot, heat the oil/butter (or water) over medium heat. Then, add apple cubes and cinnamon. Saute for 2-3 minutes until apple starts to soften and turns golden brown.
- Add oats and water and stir. Let cook as directed on package, usually 2-3 minutes until water is absorbed.
- Add salt, hemp seeds, and maple syrup (or your sweetener of choice) and stir to combine. Sprinkle top with additional cinnamon if you like and serve immediately.

Notes
- Other warming spices: If you don’t have apple pie spice, just a pinch (⅛ tsp) each of ground ginger and nutmeg will pair wonderfully with the apple cinnamon oatmeal.
- Vanilla extract: Just a few drops will make for a delicious, enhanced apple pie oatmeal flavor.
- Lemon juice: A splash of bottled or fresh lemon juice can help brighten the flavors in the apple pie oatmeal.
- Vegan butter: Adding just a tiny pat of butter to the top of the oatmeal when serving makes for an even creamier apple oatmeal recipe.
- Crushed nuts/seeds: Chopped pecans or walnuts work particularly well. For a nut-free option, you could use sunflower seeds or pepitas. Toast them first on the stovetop until fragrant for extra flavor. A couple tablespoons should be enough.
- Nut butter: Alternatively, for a super creamy addition (and healthy fats!), add a spoonful of your favorite nut butter like peanut butter or almond butter.
- Apple juice: For even more flavor, add a large splash of apple juice to the pan when softening the apples.
