Brûléed Oatmeal with Baked Apples

Brown sugar glazes the top of this oatmeal, which is served with slices of warm baked apples. Be sure to sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the oatmeal so that it will melt into a uniform topping. And don’t leave it under the broiler too long. It is ready when it bubbles and turns golden brown.
