Description

My favorite way to cook oats! This is the perfect fall recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup steel cut oats
  • 2 apples, cored and diced
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups apple cider
  • 2 tablespoons flax seed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • maple syrup, walnuts, half & half (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat butter in a medium, heavy-bottomed pan.
  2. Add oats and toast for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add diced apples, water, apple cider, flax seed, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla; stir to combine.
  4. Bring oats to a simmer. Cover and turn heat to low. Cook oats, stirring occasionally, until oats are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated about 40-45 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and serve with a drizzle of maple syrup (optional), a handful of toasted walnuts, and a drizzle of half & half.

Notes

To make the sautéed apples to drizzle on top- dice one to two apples (I leave the skin on). Melt a tablespoon of butter in a small pan. Add the apples and sauté, over medium heat, for 3-5 minutes until just soft. Add a tablespoon or so of brown sugar and a dash of ground cinnamon. Heat through for 1-2 minutes more just until caramel-y. Divide over bowls of oatmeal!
