use steel cut oatmeal, make it in a pan. and add half of the water they recommend. i prefer my oatmeal more like a paste than a soup. so for my version i take:
3/4 cup of oatmeal
1cup of water (boiling, because some evaporates while boiling)
a pinch of salt (to make the water boil at a hotter temperature, as well as adding a good contrast on your pallet for the next ingredient)
1/4th cup of brown sugar, packed (any more and your just asking to have diabetes when you grow up)
half a tablespoon of butter (NOT margarine)
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
one gala or fuji apple (medium)
get all of your ingredients in place, while water is coming to a boil add the pinch of salt, cut up your apple.
when the water comes to a boil, add oatmeal and stir. let sit for a minute and add your apple, cinnamon, brown sugar, and your apple.
once oatmeal is done, add the HALF of a tablespoon of butter (anymore and you will have TOO MUCH butter flavor) and stir.
