Peanut Butter Apple Spice Oats

In a medium saucepan sprayed with cooking spray, saute the diced apple and 1/4 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice over medium-heat until lightly browned and tender, about 4 minutes.  Remove half the apple mixture and set aside.  Add the oats to the remaining apple mixture in the sauce pan and stir over medium heat for 2 minutes, until the oats begin to toast.

Add the water, remaining 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, banana, and peanut butter.  Stir and bring mixture to a boil and then turn heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes.  Top with the reserved sauteed apple before serving.  Drizzle with honey, brown sugar, or maple syrup, if desired.
