What's better than waking up to the smell of a delicious apple oatmeal waiting for you in the morning? Nothing I say! Smells so divine and ready when you are is the perfect solution to busy mornings!
Just prepare this before you go to bed and serve in the morning to your family. Everyone can add they're favorite sweetener of choice, honey, maple syrup, etc.
This recipe is a simple adaption to my original Overnight Crock Pot Apple Oatmeal. New pictures were needed and a few modifications were made. Some comments mentioned the 6 hours on low was too long and it dried out. I tried my warm setting on my crock pot and went to bed at 9:30 pm. When I woke to check it at 6:30, it was perfect. I stirred it well and served it up to my family.
You can use any milk of your choice and even add sweetener during cooking or wait until the morning and everyone can add their favorite sweetener of choice.

It's fine to use water.

Brenda

Lisa
Can steel oats be used in place of old fashion oats?
Brenda
Not with this recipe. Steel cut need more water. Here's a recipe using steel cut oats that you could sub with apples, https://www.sugarfreemom.com/recipes/crock-pot-cocoa-steel-cut-oats-no-sugar-added/

Hi, could i use sugar free canned peaches since i'm diabect?
Thank you
Pauline
Brenda
I'm sure that would be fine, but what you really need to watch for is the carb amount not as much the sugar. All fruit is quite high in carbs for a diabetic.
Mari @ Living with Purpose
I make almost this exact same recipe, except with steel cut oats. I prefer the texture over the rolled oats.
Nathalie
Great recipe. Didi you know you can freeze this in one serving containers and reheat in the microwave oven ? Tastes just de same 😉
Ashley
Can you refrigerate and reheat this if you don't eat it all at once?? Thanks!
Kerry
Is there a way to make this with steel cut oats?
Maria
If I wanted to use steel cut oats instead of the rolled oats, what kind of accommodations do you think I would need to make? Can't wait to make this!
Brenda
above in the post you'll see I linked to 2 other recipes using steel cut oats, you can adapt the apple with one of those recipes.
