• ▢3 3/4 cups water
  
• ▢3 small sweet apples or 2 cups apple pieces diced small
  
• ▢1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  
• ▢1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

• Combine the oats, water, apples, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium size saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring occasionally. 
  
• As soon as it boils, reduce heat to low and simmer for just a few minutes, until the oats are soft and the apples are tender. Remove from the heat and add brown sugar to taste. 
  
• The sweeter the apples, the less brown sugar you will need. Scoop into serving bowls and top with butter and pecans if desired. Enjoy!
