"baked" Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

This is a twist on regular oatmeal for breakfast. It's quick because you "bake" the apples in the microwave and use instanat oatmeal. Note: most of y measurements are guestimates because this was the first time I made this recipe so feel free to add or subtract ingredients. This makes 2 servings but you can easy double it.

• 1  apple (I used gala)
• 1  teaspoon brown sugar

Directions

1. Core and peel apple.
2. Place in a microwaveable safe bowl and sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon in apple.
3. Stuff it with cranberries and oats and top it with butter. (I added just a little water to the bowl to help with the cooking).
4. Cover with saran wrap and microwave for about 3 1/2 minutes. Let it rest for about 2 minutes (it will be really hot).
5. Chop the apple and add it to the dry instant oatmeal. Follow the packet directions and add the juice from the cooked apple to the bowl. Microwave about 1 1/2 minutes.
