Debbie's Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

• 1 apple, chopped
• 2 c. apple juice
• 2 c. water
• 1 tsp. cinnamon

Bring the above ingredients to a rolling boil. Add:

• 2 c. whole oats

Reduce to medium heat and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in:

• 1/3 c. brown sugar (more or less to suit taste)

Cover and let sit 3 minutes.

Since I've started making it this way, nobody wants me to make regular oatmeal with raisins which they all used to like. I have to make 2 servings per person for our family because they love it so much. It smells wonderful while it's cooking too!
