Yes, you can always use instant. But food editor Margo True swears by steel-cut: "I love it because it has a chewier texture than instant or ordinary rolled oats and a deep, nutty flavor." It also freezes well (add the fruit after defrosting), so make a big batch on the weekend.
With its caramelized apples and golden crust, this just might be the most beautiful fall dessert you'll ever serve. And, you have our word that it'll also be one of the easiest to make.
