How to Make Steel Cut Oatmeal With Maple Sauteed Apples
- **Toast the Oats:** In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1 cup of steel-cut oats and toast, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes, until golden and fragrant.
- **Cook the Oatmeal:** Add 2 cups of water and 1 cup of milk to the saucepan with the toasted oats. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the oats are tender and creamy, stirring occasionally.
- **Season and Finish:** Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 7-10 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed and the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency.
- **Prepare the Maple-Glazed Apples:** While the oatmeal simmers, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced apples and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Sauté for about 6 minutes, until the apples are tender.
- **Glaze the Apples:** Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup of maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Simmer for about 2 minutes, until slightly reduced and the apples are glazed.
- **Rest and Serve:** Remove the oatmeal from heat and let it stand, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Serve immediately, topping with the maple-glazed apples and toasted pecans (if using).
