2 servings
- 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and diced into ½-inch pieces
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tipUse a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one. - ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 cups water
- ½ cup whole milk
Chef's tipUse the same amount. Whole milk is richer, so a lower-fat milk will make the dish a little less creamy. This matters most in baking and custards, where the extra fat adds richness. - ¼ tsp fine salt
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tbsp maple syrup, plus more for serving
Chef's tipUse the same amount; honey is a little thicker and slightly sweeter. - ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until foamy. Add the diced apple, cinnamon, and nutmeg and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apple pieces are just tender and lightly golden at the edges, about 4–5 minutes.

Pour in the water and milk, add the salt, and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
