Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in maple syrup, salt, and cinnamon. Add diced apples and cook for 3–5 minutes, until just softened. Set aside.

Notes
Best enjoyed warm, this oatmeal stores well for up to 5 days in the fridge. Reheat with a splash of milk on the stovetop or in the microwave. For extra richness, top with almond butter, toasted nuts, or a swirl of cream.
