Captain Jetski's Famous One Pan Apple Cinnamon Almond Oats

One Pan Apple Cinnamon Almond Oatmeal Breakfast
First melt 1/2 tablespoon butter on lowest burn setting. As the butter melts chop the almonds using the double knife nut chopping technique (as pictured, and procured from Cook's Illustrated) until the nuts are chopped up nicely, (or until the butter melts.)
 Next, add a 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the melted butter, and swirl the pan so it coats evenly. Add the chopped nuts, stirring to lightly coat evenly. Then toss the oatmeal into the mix, and stir.
 While the nuts and oats lightly roast, dice up an apple ( I highly recommend an Organic Honeycrisp strain,) then sprinkle the cubed pieces lightly with cinnamon.
 Lastly, throw in water into the oatmeal nut mixture, along with the diced apples, and stir and fold the mixture over itself often in the pan until the oatmeal is cooked (should be 3-6 minutes depending on oatmeal cooking time.) Pour into a bowl and enjoy!
