Oatmeal with Raisins & Apples

 

3 1/4 C. water

1/4 tsp. salt

2 C. instant rolled oats

1/2 C. raisins

1/2 C. canned apples

1 T. brown or while sugar

1/4 tsp. cinnamon (optional)

 

In a medium saucepan bring water and salt to a boil. Stir in rolled oats. Reduce heat if possible and simmer uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from the heat. Cover and let stand for 2 minutes before serving. This allows the oats to absorb any remaining liquid. Sprinkle with brown or white sugar and cinnamon (if using) and stir in the apples and raisins.
