Directions

  1. Combine 1/2 cup water and wheat berries in a small saucepan, bring to a boil. Cover saucepan, remove from heat, and set aside for wheat berries to soak, about 10 minutes.

  2. Melt butter in a 2-quart saucepan over low heat, cook and stir oats, pecans, and almonds in melted butter until golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Carefully pour boiling water into nut mixture, add wheat berries and dried apples. Cover saucepan and cook over low heat, without stirring, until wheat berries are tender, about 20 minutes, stir in sugar, cinnamon, and salt.

Recipe Note

A hot morning breakfast loaded with whole grains and fruit, with the added crunch of toasted nuts. I like to make mine on Sundays and warm some in the microwave on weekday mornings for a quick hot nutritious breakfast.
