Ingredients
- 1 large apple, chopped (about 1 cup)
- ½ cup fresh cranberries
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 1 ¾ cup + 2 Tbsp water, divided

Instructions
- Add chopped apples, cranberries, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and 2 Tbsp water to a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Once simmering, let cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender and cranberries are just starting to burst. Remove 3 Tbsp mixture to separate bowl (you'll use this as a topping).
- Add remaining 1 ¾ cups water to saucepan and let come to a simmer. Add oats and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until oats are cooked and mixture is creamy.

Notes
- Feel free to use more or less brown sugar depending on your tastes.
- You can replace the water with milk or the dairy/dairy alternative of your choice.
