Oatmeal with baked apple and nuts is a cozy dish of Russian cuisine, infused with warmth and childhood aromas. The oatmeal cooked in a mix of milk and water becomes tender and velvety, while caramelized apples with cinnamon and vanilla add sweetness and a hint of spice. The finishing touch is walnuts, adding texture and a slight crunch. It's the perfect breakfast that warms on cool mornings, provides energy, and is rich in vitamins.
