Servings: 4 -6
Ingredients
For the apples
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups chopped apple about 1 large apple
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- Pinch fine sea salt

- 1 1/2 cups water
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Stir to coat the apples, then reduce heat slightly and sauté apples until softened. Meanwhile, make the oats.
- Combine milk and water in a large pot and bring to a boil. Stir in oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt, and reduce heat to medium.
- Cook oats, stirring occasionally, until softened and mixture is thickened to your liking. This will take 5-10 minutes, depending on how thick you like your oatmeal. (If you accidentally make the oats too thick, stir in more milk or water to loosen.)
- Serve oats with a scoop of the cooked apples and a sprinkling of the chopped pecans.
