Microwave Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

Ingredients

• 1 apple, preferably McIntosh, cored and coarsely chopped
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Pinch kosher salt
• 2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup toasted pecans

Directions

Combine the apple, oats, cinnamon, and salt in a large microwave-safe bowl water, and stir in the water. Cover and seal with plastic wrap or a tight fitting lid and heat in the microwave on high until apples are soft and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 8 minutes. Stir in the maple syrup. Divide between 2 bowls and top with the nuts. Serve immediately.
