Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium Golden Delicious apple - peeled, cored, and chopped
¾ cup brown sugar, divided
¼ cup unsalted butter
2 cups heavy cream, or more as needed
2 cups oats (such as Quaker Oats®)
1 tablespoon flax seeds
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add apple and 1/4 cup brown sugar; cook and stir until browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small serving bowl.
