Apple Walnut Oatmeal with Cinnamon

    This is one of my favorite Fall breakfast recipes! Actually it's one of my favorite breakfast recipes period. I am guilty of eating like it is Fall all year long. The aroma of the apples, cinnamon and maple syrup just put me in the best mood and start my day off right! McDonald's sells a similar version but adds sugar which gives this healthy breakfast a not so healthy kick. Want to get in the mood for Fall? Try this for breakfast! I will include the recipe below for you to try.

1 cup of water
