1 medium apple, peeled, seeded and cut in ½-inch cubes
1 Tablespoon butter
2 Tablespoons dark brown sugar, lightly packed (or 1 T, packed)
Pecans for topping
Yogurt for topping
Instructions
To prepare the oats: In a small saucepan combine the water and steel cut oats following a 2:1 ratio of water to oats. Bring to a boil then lower heat to simmer until the oats are tender, about 15 minutes. If the oats get too dry, add a couple of tablespoons of water at a time.
To prepare the apples: While the oats cook, heat the butter in a small pan over medium-high heat. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the butter melts, turns brown and smells nutty. Add the apple pieces, cook over medium heat for 2 minutes then add the brown sugar. Cook for another 2 minutes or until the apple pieces are tender.
Transfer the cooked oats to a bowl and top with cooked apples followed by the pecans and yogurt. Eat warm.
