Slow Cooker Apple Pie Steel Cut Oats

Servings: 4
Author: Pamela

Ingredients

  • 1 cup steel cut oats use certified gluten-free oats for GF oatmeal
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 apples peeled, cored, & cut into bite size pieces
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup you can use any sweetener you want
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup raisins

Instructions

  • Place the steel cut oats, water, apples, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and raisins into a slow cooker and cook on LOW heat for 5 hours. Actually, anywhere between 4 and 6 hours is fine. Most slow cookers have an automatic “WARM” setting so after it cooks, it will stay warm until you’re ready for it.
  • Stir well to combine before serving. I like to finish my oatmeal with a little homemade almond milk to thin it out a little. Yum!

Notes

I know it's tempting to leave the peel on the apples, but after they cook, the apples get soft and the peel stays tough.  Not so fun to eat!  To make this on the stovetop, see the last paragraph above.
