A healthy and warming breakfast.

The winter sun casts its glow on a warm bowl of oatmeal on my breakfast table. This time no ordinary oatmeal, but with crispy baked apples, walnuts, and the warm aroma of the cinnamon.

Meanwhile, the smell of freshly baked apple pie wafts through your home when you make this recipe. The cinnamon reminds you of the cozy ghost days and cozy evenings by the warm fire.

And the very best of this delicious breakfast? It's super easy to make. While the oatmeal is gently warming, make the baked apples. You bake with honey and cinnamon golden brown, and they get a delicious caramel taste by baking. Add them to the creamy oatmeal when ready, and you can start with this delightful breakfast! Tasty.
