Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups water
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon butter (salted, or unsalted)
1 cup steel cut oats
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter (salted, or unsalted)
3 large firm apples (about 1 1/2 pounds, peeled, cored, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices)
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup, PLUS
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup toasted pecans (OPTIONAL, rough chopped)

Steps:

  • OATS:.
  • Bring the water and milk to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat until just beginning to foam; add the oats and toast, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until golden and fragrant with a butterscotch-like aroma, 1 1⁄2 to 2 minutes.
  • Stir the toasted oats into the simmering liquid, reduce the heat to medium-low; simmer gently, until the mixture thickens and resembles gravy, about 20-25 minutes.
  • Add the salt, stir to combine and continue simmering, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon until the oats absorb almost all of the liquid and the oatmeal is thick and creamy, with a pudding-like consistency, about 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Off the heat, let the oatmeal stand uncovered for 5 minutes. Serve immediately with maple sautéed apples. Garnish with toasted pecans if desired.
  • MAPLE SAUTÉED APPLES:.
  • (Begin cooking apples when the oats have about 5 minutes cooking time remaining.).
  • Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apples and 1 tablespoon maple syrup; sauté until the apples are tender, about 6 minutes.
  • Mix in the remaining 1⁄2 cup maple syrup and cinnamon; simmer until slightly reduced, about 2 minute.
  • Makes about four servings of oatmeal topped with sauteed apples, and garnished with toasted pecans if desired.
