Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Steel-cut oats
- 3 cups Water
- 1 cup Milk (optional, for creamier oats)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 piece Apple (medium, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)
- 1 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the steel-cut oats and salt.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the oats simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. If you'd like creamier oats, stir in 1 cup of milk during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
While the oats cook, prepare the maple sautéed apples. Core and slice the apple into thin, even slices.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the apple slices and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until they start to soften.
Sprinkle the cinnamon and nutmeg over the apples and drizzle the maple syrup. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and caramelized.
Once the oats are ready, divide them equally into two bowls. Top each bowl with the maple sautéed apples.
If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the top for added crunch.
Serve warm and enjoy your cozy bowl of Steel Cut Oatmeal with Maple Sautéed Apples.
