We are not ones to cook a big breakfast in our house, so what we usually have is something very easy or a smoothie. This is a very easy, filling, and healthy breakfast. My husband especially loves this one because it is so hearty. Be sure not to substitute for any other kind of oatmeal. Only steel cut oatmeal will do. You can sprinkle the top of the oatmeal with more nuts and brown sugar before serving. This is delish. I hope you enjoy!

How To Make apple cinnamon crock pot oatmeal

Step 1

Stir together chopped apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium-sized bowl.

Step 2

Evenly coat the apples.
Step 3

Spray the inside of a Crock Pot with cooking spray. Put the apple mixture into the Crock Pot. Add water, milk, butter, vanilla, oats, and raisins (optional). If I am using walnuts or pecans, I add them at this time. If using almonds, wait until you are almost ready to serve. Stir well.
Step 4

Put the lid on the Crock Pot and cook on low for 8 hours or overnight. If using almonds, I add them as soon as I get up and then let them cook while I get the coffee made.
