Apple Pie Oatmeal

I love recreating my favourite desserts into a wholesome breakfast meal. This warmly spiced apple pie oatmeal is lightly sweetened, very creamy and will keep you feeling energized throughout your morning. It's the perfect weekday or lazy weekend breakfast. I topped mine with some roasted cinnamon apples to give it a little extra crisp.

Notes: 1) If using large flake oats or rolled oats: First add oats, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, almond butter and nutmeg to a pot heated on medium. Allow oats to soften and thicken slightly ~10-15 mins stirring often, then add chopped apple and cook for another 2-3 mins. 2) For roasted sliced apples on top: Heat skillet on medium and add 1 tsp vegan butter and 1/4 tsp cinnamon. Once butter melted add sliced apples and roast on each side for 1 minute until browned.
