M$For a creamier oatmeal: use milk instead of water (skim 2%, 1%, whole, etc.). or use 1/2 cup half & half and 1/2 cup water (that's what I use).
If you use maple syrup you can get rid of the honey and sugar or do one or the other.

M$You could also add several toppings, depending upon your mood. If you are looking for something sweet, try a variety of fresh fruit, some colored sprinkles, or a little extra brown sugar.
If you are looking for something crunchy, add a little bit of granola or some nuts to the top. You could also add a more crunchy fruit, such as the apple you listed in your recipe.
To make your recipe creamier and a little decadent, stir in a few chocolate chips. The chocolate will add a creamy texture, and it will add a rich flavor to your oatmeal.
Enjoy!
