- Combine 120ml water and wheatberries in a small saucepan; bring to the boil. Cover saucepan, remove from heat and set aside for wheatberries to soak, about 10 minutes.
- Melt butter in a large 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 wheatberries and dried apples. Cover saucepan and cook over low heat, without stirring, until wheatberries are tender, about 20 minutes; stir in sugar, cinnamon and salt.

This was fantastic. I replaced the cup of oats with a cup of cooked hulled barley. Replaced the nuts with mixed roasted nuts. Also, cut the sugar in half. Cut up a banana instead of the dried apples. Definitely making this again. - 04 Jan 2018 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
