About

Credit to Whole Grains - Every Day, Every Way by Lorna Sass (published by Clarkson Potter in 2006) for how to cook groats. This book recommends covering the oats with a paper towel while steaming.

I added the apple idea. It takes the better part of an hour to prepare, but is well worth the investment of time.
