1. 1

   Put the oats in a saucepan and add the milk (or plant-based milk). Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring regularly.Turn the heat down and let the oats simmer gently for 5 minutes until a creamy porridge forms. Stir occasionally. Add a pinch of salt.Meanwhile, peel the apple and cut it into thin slices or cubes. Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat.Add the apple slices to the pan together with the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the apple is soft and lightly caramelized. Keep an eye on the pan so the sugar doesn't burn.Stir the honey into the porridge and spoon the porridge into bowls.Place the caramelized apple on top of the porridge, sprinkle the coarsely chopped pecans over it and, if you like, add a splash of milk. Serve immediately.
