Steel-Cut Oats with Apple and Pecans

Bring almond milk and water to a boil. Add the oats. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed, 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand, covered for 5 minutes. Place the apples, cinnamon and 3/4 tsp of the maple syrup and 1 stp of water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the apples are softened and the liquid has reduced to a syrupy consistency, 7 minutes. Stir in the pecans and cover to keep warm. Stir the apples and nuts into the cooked and rested oatmeal. Drizzle each portion with 1 tsp of maple syrup.
