Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup steel-cut oats
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ½ cup dried apricots, coarsely chopped
- 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into chunks
- 2 tablespoons water
- 3 tablespoons real maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
In large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the water and salt and bring to a boil. Stir in the oats and cranberries and bring back to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally until oats are done al dente, about 25 to 30 minutes.
In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, combine apples and water and cook, stirring frequently, until heated through and starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in maple syrup and cinnamon and cook until liquid reduces slightly and coats the apples.
Serve oatmeal topped with apples and pecans.
