10-Minute Apple Cider Oatmeal

Pumpkin spice has become so hyped up over the last few years that we’ve almost forgotten the original fall favorite: apple cider. Apple cider started the warm, spiced drinks trend and is much more versatile than pumpkin spice.

On a whim, I exchanged my water for apple cider when making my morning oatmeal, and it was the best decision I’ve made in a long time. So set aside that PSL for a moment and make this delicious apple cider oatmeal instead; it’ll leave you wondering why you ever became a pumpkin spice convert.
