In a saucepan melt butter over medium heat and then add oats and lightly brown them. Then add water, bringing oats to a boil. Then reduce heat to low and simmer for around 15-20 minutes until liquid is absorbed and oats are cooked. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and milk for creaminess.

While oats are cooking, add apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, 1 Tablespoon of water and 1 teaspoon of maple syrup to a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until apples are cooked tender.
3
Spoon oats into a bowl and drizzle with remaining maple syrup and top with apple mixture and chopped pecans.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
