Ingredients

2 servings

1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and diced into ½-inch pieces
1 tbsp unsalted butter
Ingredient note
Though high-fat foods can worsen reflux, this recipe has only a small amount of butter (~1 1/2 teaspoons per serving), making it likely fine for many with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid butter, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp ground cinnamon
⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
2 cups water
½ cup whole milk
¼ tsp fine salt
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
