Crockpot Apple Oatmeal

First off all, I'd like to introduce the newest member of our family:


For our 5th anniversary, my grandmother gave us some money and we used it to buy this beauty. I am so excited to be able to use the digital-ness (that is SO a word), plus be able to make larger portions. YAY!

(Any crockpot cookbook recommendations??)

The crock's maiden dish was a Creamy Apple Oatmeal from the expert herself - the Crockpot Lady.


I intended to use this for grab-and-go breakfasts for me and Ryan this week. It's pretty good, except that I had to add a TON more milk at the end because it was crazy dry.
Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of oats
  • 2 cups of milk
  • 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of vanilla
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 chopped apple

Add oats, chopped apple and milk to stoneware, and then put in brown sugar, vanilla and pinch of salt; stir to combine. Cover and cook on high for 1-2 hours or low for 2-3. Check consistency of oatmeal and add milk as needed; garnish with cinnamon.
