• 4 cups water
• 1 cup steel-cut oats
• 1 apple , peeled, cored, and chopped
• 0.5 cups shredded carrot

• 0.75 cups chopped pecans
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Bring water to a boil in a large, heavy saucepan; stir in oats. Reduce heat to a simmer; cook oats until they begin to thicken, about 10 minutes. Stir in apple, carrot, raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt; simmer until tender, about 20 minutes more.
2. 2 Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in pecans; cook until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with brown sugar; stir until sugar has melted and coats pecans.
