Ingredients
- For the porridge
- For the apple
- To finish
Let’s make it.
- Dice the apple small — about 1 cm — so it softens in the time the oats take to cook.
- On the stove. Put the oats, water, milk, salt, diced apple, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring now and then.
- Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring more often towards the end, until the oats are creamy and the apple is tender. Add a splash more milk if it gets too thick.
- In the Zojirushi rice cooker. Put everything except the pecans and maple syrup in the inner pot, stir, close the lid and select the regular Oatmeal setting. Stir when it beeps.
- Spoon into a warm bowl, top with the pecans and drizzle with maple syrup.
