Peruvian Avena con Manzana (Apple Oatmeal)

Combine rolled oats, water, milk, diced apple, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt in a medium saucepan.

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the oats are tender and the mixture has thickened.

Stir in the brown sugar until fully dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.

Remove from heat and let it sit for 2 minutes to thicken further before serving.
