Description
A creamy, hearty breakfast featuring toasted steel-cut oats and tender apples cooked together in one pot.
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
- Maple syrup or honey, to taste
- Pinch of salt
- 3 medium-to-large apples, cored and chopped
- 1 cup steel-cut oats
Instructions
