Good friend Gayle phoned me this morning, asking about an oatmeal dish I make sometimes. As I am easily swayed by the power of suggestion, especially when it comes to food, after we ended our phone conversation, I HAD to have Oatmeal with Apples, Cinnamon and Maple Syrup. This is one of my faves for brekky, but today it was great for lunch. Anytime, really. Warm, sweet, apple-y. What more could you ask for? Get ready, this is a very fast and satisfying dish.

Oatmeal with Apples and Maple Syrup

• 2 sliced (with or without skin) apples in butter or fake butter or oil
• add some cinnamon
• add two tbsp at least of real maple syrup (not the fake stuff)

Sautee until apples start to get softish. Add apples and residual sweet sauce to a serving of oatmeal. I like McCann's Irish Oatmeal, but any will do. A tasty option: add a tbsp or so of peanut butter to the bowl before adding oatmeal and apples for a creamy, nutty flavor.

I think this dish prepared for a loved one, could constitute a Valentine's Day offering.
