1. Peel and core the apples, then cut them into small cubes. Add together with the sugar, cinnamon, water, and lemon juice to a small saucepan and heat up over medium-low heat. Cook the apples until the liquid has almost disappeared and the apples are soft – about 5-6 minutes. Remove from the heat.

2. While the apples are cooking you can also prepare the oatmeal. Add the oat milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, and cardamom to a small pot and mix to combine. Heat up until you can see some bubbles forming on the surface, then add the oats and mix well. Let on the heat for a moment, then remove and let soak for about 4-5 minutes. Mix occasionally.

3. Either divide the oatmeal and apples between two bowls or add both to one large bowl and share. Sprinkle with some vegan granola, nuts, raisins, or any favorite topping. Sprinkle with some sugar and serve still warm or cooled. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
