Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup steel cut oats
- 4 cups water
- 4 apples, cored and cut into bite-sized pieces (we like McIntosh!)
- 4 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
- Warm maple syrup, for serving
- Warm heavy cream, for serving
Instructions
- Bring water to a simmer in a medium pot. Add oats and cook over medium-low heat for 20 minutes. Add more water as needed if the oatmeal absorbs all of it before 20 minutes are up.
- Add apples and cinnamon sugar and stir. Simmer for another 10 minutes until oatmeal is done, drizzling in more water if needed. Steel cut oatmeal will be slightly chewy – that’s how it’s supposed to be.
- Cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Ladle into warmed bowls, drizzle with a little maple syrup and heavy cream and serve.
Notes
-
- Steel Cut Oats: Look for these hearty oats in the breakfast aisle of your supermarket right next to their rolled oats cousins.
-
- Apples: You can use any type of apples you like!
-
- Cream: A drizzle of cream is optional but oh so good! And yes, you can swap in a drizzle of milk if you prefer.
