Apple Struedel Oatmeal

¼ cup slivered almonds

1 cup oatmeal

2 ½ cups water

½ cup apple, grated

¼ cup raisins

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla

1 tbsp brown sugar

½ cup (approximately) yogurt

Place the almonds in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir frequently until the almonds are toasted and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Set the almonds aside in a small bowl.

Combine oatmeal, water, apple, raisins and cinnamon in the same saucepan.  Bring to boil, reduce to a simmer until desired thickness. Stir in the vanilla and brown sugar.  To serve, divide between bowls, top with 1-2 tbsp of vanilla yogurt and sprinkle with toasted almonds.
