Old Fashioned Oatmeal

• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 Tbsp honey
• 3 cups water
• 2 cups old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsweetened apples juice
• 3/4 cup chopped, peeled apple
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Stir chopped walnuts in small nonstick skillet over medium heat until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Drizzle honey over and stir until honey thickens and coats nuts, about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Stir to loosen nuts from skillet and cool.

Bring 3 cups water to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Add oats and salt and stir over medium heat until oats are softened and very thick, about 5 minutes. Stir in apple juice, chopped apple, brown sugar, raisins and cinnamon. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until apples are tender, about 5 minutes.

Top with honey-toasted walnuts and serve.
