Weight Watchers-Friendly Healthy Oatmeal and Apple Dessert

Ingredients:

• 1 medium apple (peeled, cored, and sliced)
• 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
• 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional for extra fiber)
• 1 tbsp chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans – optional)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Apples:
   • In a small skillet or pan, cook the sliced apples over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes until they soften. You can add a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor. If you prefer them sweeter, add a small drizzle of honey or maple syrup during cooking.
2. Prepare the Oatmeal:
   • In a small saucepan, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). Bring it to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
   • Once it starts to thicken, reduce the heat and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until the oatmeal is creamy and soft.
3. Combine the Ingredients:
   • When the oatmeal is ready, stir in the cooked apples and any juices that may have formed in the pan. Add the vanilla extract, chia seeds, and chopped nuts if desired.
4. Serve:
   • Serve warm. You can top it with a small drizzle of honey or a dollop of low-fat Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
