Crackling Oatmeal

You don't have to eat rice cereal topped with spoonfuls of sugar to listen to your breakfast. This morning I made oatmeal that will have your ears tuning in and your tastebuds begging for more. The loud crackle got my dad's attention as he sat across the room on the couch. Apples, walnuts, and a hint of cinnamon make this oatmeal my total fav! Try it out and let me know what you think:)
Crackling Oatmeal

3/4 c quick oats
1 1/2 c milk (I use raw)
1/2 small apple, chopped
small palmful of walnuts, chopped
2 t cinnamon, divided
1 t sugar or honey (optional)

1. In a small bowl(covered) or steamer bag, place apples and 1 t cinnamon in and toss to coat. Then, microwave the apples for 2 minutes. Set aside.
2. While apples are cooking, put chopped walnuts in a dry skillet on med low heat. Stirring frequently, cook until you can smell the walnuts.
3. While walnuts are cooking, make your oatmeal. Oats, milk, cinnamon and sugar if wanted. Cook for 2 min in the microwave.
4. Putting it all together! Top your oatmeal with walnuts, then pour apples over the walnuts. You will hear the crackle! Enjoy.
