Apple Cinnamon Slow Cooker Oatmeal Recipe

Easy Slow Cooker Comfort Food

Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats

Mornings are made for comfort food, so this simple apple cinnamon slow cooker oatmeal recipe is a wonderful way to start the day. 

It is so nice when your family can wake up to the aroma wafting through the house.

It will smell as if an apple pie is baking in the oven, but it is, indeed, breakfast. 

Oats are an excellent choice for breakfast, since they are good fuel for the day.

They also taste delicious, especially when cinnamon, apples and pecans are added. 

This recipe has apples mixed in for the duration of the cook time, so the flavor permeates the oats. 

Then additional apple chunks are added just before serving, which makes it extra delicious. 

Make sure you use steel cut oats in this recipe, since they will give it a nice texture that isn’t too mushy. 

I generally avoid lining my crock pot, but in this case a slow cooker liner definitely makes sense. 

Without a liner, clean up is a bear. With a liner, it is really easy. 

Enjoy these overnight oats!
