It is such a luxury to wake up to breakfast already prepared. This is perfect for making the night before an especially hectic morning or if you have a crowd to feed since it is simple, inexpensive, and makes a lot.
Ingredients:
4 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
4 cups old fashioned oats
5 cups water
3 cups milk
1. Layer apples in the bottom of the Crock Pot.
2. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over the apples. Add later of oats and carefully pour milk and water over the top, trying not to disturb the layers.
4. Do not stir!! The apples will cook perfectly it they are on the bottom.
5. Cook on low for 8-9 hours.
Makes 8 Servings
We make this early in the week and reheat individual servings in the microwave. Add a little bit of milk or water when reheating.

Variations:
- Use half old fashioned oats and half steel cut oats. I add an extra cup of water and it cooks up perfectly.
- Add a few tablespoons of flax and/or chia before cooking.
- Experiment with different flavors. My father has taken this recipe and adapted it to make with raisins, cranberries, or bananas.
To make a single serving if you have a tiny Crock Pot, make 1/8 recipe and use a timer to delay start until 2.5 hours before breakfast time.
