Salted Lemon Apple Oats

If you've perused my blog, you know that I'm into oats. It's hot and humid here because of Arizona's monsoon season, however, and lately a warm bowl of porridge hasn't sounded good. These, however, hit the spot.

If you're looking for a nice summer oatmeal recipe, this might be it. Fresh lemon + crisp apple + a nice topping of salt = summer bliss.

Ingredients:

1/2 c quick cooking oats
1 1/2 c water
1 apple, diced
1 T lemon juice
A sprinkle of coarse salt (I used red Hawaiian sea salt.)

Directions:

1. Bring oats, apple, and water to a boil and reduce heat to medium. 
2. Stir in lemon juice.
3. When oats reach desired consistency and apples are tender, transfer oatmeal to a bowl.
4. Top with a sprinkle of coarse salt and dig in.
