Step 1: In a saucepan, heat apple, butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, and 6 tablespoons water over medium-high until simmering. Cover and cook until apples are tender, about 5-6 minutes. Reserve 1 cup apple mixture for garnish.
Step 2: Add oats and 2 cups water (or milk or combination of water and milk) to saucepan with remaining apple mixture and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until oats are creamy, about 5 minutes.
Step 3: Serve with reserved apple mixture, pecans, and more maple syrup, if desired.
