1 Cup Fast Cook Steel Cut Oats 

1/4 Cup Currants

For The Apples:
3 Sweeter Variety Apples (Ambrosia, Gala and MacIntosh all work well here)
1 Tbs. Unsalted Butter
1/8 Tsp Salt (if you use salted butter omit this)
1 1/2 Tsp Cinnamon
1 Tsp Lemon Juice
2 Tbs. Whisky (nothing too expensive required here, but please omit it Alcohol is not for you).

Top With: 

Roasted Pecans 

Maple Syrup

For Oats: Bring 2 cups of water to a boil and add oats, salt and currants to pot. Reduce heat to low and cook for approximately 10 minutes. At 10 minutes stir in 1/2 cup of milk of your choice, turn off heat, cover and let sit for an additional 10 minutes. While this rests make the apples.

For Apples: Peel and thinly slice apples. Add Butter to medium hot pan and melt. Once melted add apples and all additional ingredients except for lemon and whisky. Sauté apples covered on medium heat for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once these soften, stir in the lemon and whisky. Return to heat for 30 seconds only and remove from heat. Divide oats amongst bowls and top with apple mixture. For extra decadence top with roasted pecans and maple syrup. Serves 4.  This apple oats recipe is best eaten warm but can be stored in the fridge, reheated and eaten within 3 days.
