                    This hearty breakfast dish is packed with cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber. Leaving the apple skin on contributes even more fiber. Most of the fat is a healthy mono unsaturated fat from the nuts. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1 apple, preferably mcintosh, cored and coarsely chopped  |  
                                                1 cup rolled oats  |  
                                                1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon  |  
                                                pinch kosher salt  |  
                                                2 cups water  |  
                                                2 tablespoons pure maple syrup  |  
                                                1/4 cup toasted pecans  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Combine the apple, oats, cinnamon, and salt in a large microwave-safe bowl water, and stir in the water. Cover and seal with plastic wrap or a tight fitting lid and heat in the microwave on high until apples are soft and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 8 minutes. Stir in the maple syrup. Divide between 2 bowls and top with the nuts. 2. Serve immediately.                              |
