This was good, but not great. Even with the addition of brown sugar, which about half the reviews suggest to add, it was not wonderful. I enjoyed it, but none of the three kids cared for it.

With all due respect, what is the big secret about oatmeal?? If you don't find it fun, put in some peaches, or apple sauce, or more sugar, or some maple syrup. There must be something more exciting.!!

I made this oatmeal for breakfast today and served it to my dad and sister. I followed the recipe almost exactly, adding a little nutmeg with the cinnamon. It was alright, but could use a little tweaking. My dad suggested salt and I think I would use less liquid next time and cover the sliced apples with cinnamon and nutmeg, before boiling them in the liquid. I tried topping the oatmeal with white sugar, but it still tasted pretty bland, so then I tried brown sugar and it turned out delicious. I will keep trying and experimenting. This is a great start.

We changed it up cause for some reason I bought the wrong ingrediants. Applesauce not apples. Not very good that way. Will keep trying with this recipe cause it has such good potential.

I thought that this recipe was very bland. I would have decreased the amount of water and added more apple juice. I ended up adding some brown sugar to it at the end and increasing the amount of cinnamon.

I almost never make normal oatmeal anymore. It's always apple cinnamon, and my family loves it!

I like the hearty option of oatmeal for breakfast but grow tired of the same old. I liked this option but it was bland without any salt, needs a pinch. I used rolled oats so increased cooking time was necessary as well.

i really wanted to love this but felt it lacked something. it came out a tangy; almost bitter flavor. i did put some flax seed which was fine. next time i'll add some brown sugar and/or honey to give it a little bit of the missing sweetness it needed and see if it enhances not only the taste but rating.
