OK, the only reason I'm calling this "Apple Pie Oatmeal" is because of the cheese but whatever. I made this for breakfast this week and can't get enough.

Take:

1 serving steel-cut oatmeal
1/2 cup soy milk
1 Granny Smith apple, chopped
1 tsp of cinnamon
1 tsp of brown sugar
1/2 Tblsp of Splenda
1 slice of fat-free sharp cheddar cheese

Microwave the chopped apple and spices for about 2 minutes. Mix with prepared oatmeal. Place slice of cheese over oatmeal till it melts. Makes about three cups.

The recipe is a slight tweak from one I saw in some random fitness magazine this month. Obviously you prepare the oatmeal with the soy milk - makes it creamier than water. I had the fat-free cheese and thought I'd try it out. Very glad I did. A nice Fall breakfast - hearty and healthy. I split it up and spread it out over a few breakfasts because there is only so much oatmeal I can take.
