Creamy Vanilla Oatmeal with Cinnamon Apples (Edit recipe)

For the oatmeal

1. Add the adds water and almond milk to a medium sized pot. Bring the oats to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Stir in the vanilla and salt. Simmer over low heat until the oats thicken (about 10 min). Make sure to stir the oats frequently while they cook.
2. Once the oats thicken, stir in the collagen followed by maple syrup to taste. I normally use a couple teaspoons but everyone's taste buds vary. Continue to cook until the oats are the desired consistency. If the oats thicken too much, add a little more water 1 tbsp at a time.

For the cinnamon apples

1. While the oats are cooking, prepare the apples. Heat the butter or coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Then add in the apples, cinnamon and maple syrup. Cook the apples, stirring occasionally until the are tender. This could take about 7-10 minutes depending on the type of apple.
2. Once the oats are done cooking, divide them amongst two bowls and top with the apples. I like to serve mine with tahini and pumpkin seeds.
