Step 1
Combine the oats, water, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low. Stir in the brown sugar and 1 Tbsp of the syrup. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until oatmeal is slightly thickened, but still a bit watery. Remove from heat and stir in pecans. Set aside. Oatmeal should thicken slightly.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Core the apples, creating about a 1" hole and leaving about 1/2" of the core remaining at the bottom. Rub each core with a bit of cinnamon to coat and place in a baking dish.
Step 3
Distribute oatmeal evenly among apples. Top with 1-3 pecans each and sprinkle with additional cinnamon. Bake for 30 minutes on bottom rack of oven.
Step 4
Drizzle remaining maple syrup over each apple. Bake an additional 10 minutes, or until apples are tender, but not mushy. Remove from heat.
Step 5
Let cool slightly. Serve warm.
