Description
Apple cinnamon oatmeal is on a frequent rotation at my house. There is absolutely nothing that smells better while cooking than cinnamon and apples. Think apple pie, just healthier. This is the warmest, most comforting, best tasting breakfast in the world. Seriously. It is also full of nutrition and without any processed ingredients.
Ingredients
- 3 Apples Peeled, Cored, And Cut Into Bite Size Pieces
- 1-½ cup Milk
- 1-½ cup Water
- 1 cup Steel Cut Oats
- ¼ cups Maple Syrup Or Honey (or More To Taste)
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoons Salt
Preparation
Add all ingredients into your slow cooker. Stir, cover and cook on low setting for 7 hours.
It is helpful to coat the inside of the slow cooker with organic cooking spray or wipe down with a little oil or butter to keep the oats from sticking at the bottom. Also opening the lid once or twice during cooking to stir helps, making sure to reincorporate any oats from the bottom of the slow cooker — the benefit is letting the smell of warm apples and cinnamon waft out of the slow cooker!
Notes:
1. Recipe is easily doubled. If you double the recipe, add an hour of cooking time.
2. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
3. To reheat, spoon a serving of oatmeal into a microwave safe bowl. Add 1/3 cup of milk and heat on high for 1 minute. Stir and heat for another minute or until hot.
