APPLE CINNAMON STEEL-CUT OATS
Steel-cut oats take a bit longer to cook than rolled oats do, but once you taste this hot breakfast dish you’ll understand why its worth it. These oats are made all the more tasty with the addition of cinnamon, apples and vanilla and, if you’d like, a touch of maple syrup.
Yield: Serves 4.

Tip: Steel-cut oats are oat groats that are cut up but not rolled, whereas rolled oats are oat groats that are steamed and rolled flat. The cooking time is longer for steel-cut oats, which have a chewy texture when ready to eat. Look for them in natural food stores, specialty food stores or large grocery stores in the natural foods section or the aisle where oats are sold.
