Haferbrei mit Apfel und Zimt

Zutaten

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 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
• dash of nutmeg
• 1/4 cup (plus 1-2 tablespoons brown sugar, adjust to taste)
• Butter (a teaspoon or so for on top of each serving)
• Optional: chopped pecans (just a sprinkling for serving each bowl)

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Combine the oats, water, apples, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium size saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring occasionally.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   The sweeter the apples, the less brown sugar you will need. Scoop into serving bowls and top with butter and pecans if desired. Enjoy!
