This looks delicious! It’s hard to resist apple pie for breakfast! I’ve never tried oatmeal in my slow cooker…I’ll have to give it a try!
This recipe sounds so delicious. I was looking for something for the kiddos besides cereal and milk every morning. Besides, I’m out of milk, but I just happen to have half and half, and everything else the recipe called for. I have a confession, I added Saigon Cinnamon (just because I LOVE cinnamon and it goes with apples!) and a bit of Pure Maple Syrup. I just turned on the crock pot, can’t wait to awaken to the heavenly smell of cinnamon, apples, and oatmeal waiting to be enjoyed on a cool, “almost fall” morning! Thank you for your post and awesome site!
