Muesli

A version of this recipe was in some cookbook my mom had that I found growing up. I've made it off and on for years. While I don't have the original recipe, this is my version (though I only measured the ingredients so I could post them here). This is an easy way to spruce up oatmeal; the lemon juice - brown sugar contrast is so good.

Muesli

1/2 cup oats
1 cup water
1 small or 1/2 large grated apple (skins on)
1 tsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. cream
2 tsp. brown sugar

Cook the oats and water according to package directions. Add remaining ingredients, taste and adjust flavor by adding more brown sugar or lemon juice.
