A comforting and hearty oatmeal recipe featuring tender apples, sweet raisins, and crunchy honey-glazed pecans.
Toast the pecans in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until fragrant.
Keep stirring the pecans to prevent them from burning.
Drizzle honey over the pecans and stir until they are evenly coated and the honey thickens.
Remove the skillet from heat as soon as the honey thickens to avoid overcooking.
Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent sticking.
Add oats and salt to the boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
Stir frequently to ensure the oats cook evenly.
Stir in the chopped apple, brown sugar, raisins, and cinnamon. Cover and cook on low heat until the apples are tender.
Dice the apple into small pieces for quicker cooking.
Divide the oatmeal into serving bowls and top with vanilla yogurt and honey-glazed pecans.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
