Apple Crunch Oatmeal

½ cup soft wheat berries

3 ½ cups water

½ tsp coarse salt

1 ½ cups rolled oats

2 large red apples, halved and cored

1 tsp cinnamon

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

2 Tb frozen unsweetened apple juice concentrate, thawed

Coarse salt to taste

4 Tb chopped walnuts, toasted

Brown sugar to taste

Add the wheat berries, water and salt to a medium saucepan, bring to a boil and simmer 12-15 minutes or until the berries are tender.  Return the mixture to a boil.  Add the oats, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the oatmeal is thick and creamy, 6-8 minutes.

Grate the apples, including the skin, directly into the pan.  Stir in the cinnamon, vanilla, and juice concentrate.  Spoon into bowls and top with nuts and brown sugar.
