Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup steel-cut oats
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup water
- 2 medium apple
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 0.5 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish (or similar-sized oven-safe dish) with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small chunks.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, then add the diced apples, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the apples soften slightly and are coated in the spiced mixture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the steel-cut oats, milk, water, vanilla extract, salt, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Stir until evenly mixed.
Add the cooked apples to the oatmeal mixture and gently fold them in. If using nuts or dried fruit, fold those in as well.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the mixture is set but still moist.
Allow the baked oats to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally topped with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, a dollop of yogurt, or a splash of milk.
