Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Rustic Grain Cereal with Apples and Nuts.
Step 1
To start, grab a small saucepan and combine half a cup of water with the wheat berries.
Step 2
Bring this mixture to a gentle boil, then cover it and take it off the heat.
Step 3
Let those wheat berries soak for about ten minutes to soften up nicely.
Step 4
Meanwhile, in a separate two-quart saucepan, melt some butter over low heat.
Step 5
Once it’s melted, toss in the steel-cut oats, chopped pecans, and slivered almonds.
Step 6
Stir them frequently for about five minutes, or until they turn golden and release a delightful nutty aroma.
Step 7
Now, carefully pour in the boiling water to the nut mixture, and then add the soaked wheat berries along with some chopped dried apples for a touch of sweetness.
Step 8
Cover the saucepan and let it simmer over low heat without stirring for around twenty minutes, allowing the wheat berries to become tender and the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 9
When everything is cooked to perfection, stir in some sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until everything is well combined.
