In a medium sautée pan, combine the oats, cinnamon, coconut oil, pecans, and sugar. Stir to coat the oats and nuts in the oil and spices. Toast over medium heat until the sugar begins to caramelize and the nuts are fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Stir continuously and watch closely so the sugar doesn’t burn. Set the mixture aside when cooked.
In the same pan, combine the milk, raisins, cardamom and cloves; stir to combine so the raisins are slightly soaked. Add the apples sliced-side down, and cook over medium heat until the liquid begins to simmer. Lower heat, and cover to cook until the apples begin to sweat and are soft when pierced with a fork.
Arrange the apple pieces in a bowl and pour the remaining liquid over top. Sprinkle the oat topping over the dish along with salt if desired (I wouldn’t leave it out, but that’s just me…). Enjoy!
