Let’s cook

Combine the milk and grated apple in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.
Stir in oats and cinnamon. Simmer for 7–10 minutes, stirring often so the milk does not catch on the bottom.
When the oats and apple are soft, remove from heat. Stir in maple syrup.
Let stand for 2 minutes. Add water or a little extra milk if you prefer a thinner oatmeal.
