Crock Pot Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal

I always eat breakfast. It's a good habit to get into. Still cereal and toast get old after a while, and a big bowl of warm gooey oatmeal is a deliciously healthy alternative. This recipe, Lisa Lillien's Crock-Pot Cinna-Apples 'n Oats, from Hungry Girl 300 Under 300, can also be eaten as a snack between meals.

Crock Pot Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal

Ingredients

• 8 cups chopped Fuji apples (about 6 apples)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar (not packed), divided
• 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon, divided
• 1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup light vanilla soymilk (I like Silk)
• ⅓ cup sugar-free pancake syrup
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons light whipped butter or light buttery spread

Preparation

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine apples with 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir to coat apples well. Transfer mixture to crock pot.
2. In the empty bowl, combine all remaining ingredients except the butter: oats, soymilk, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, syrup, and salt. Add 1 cup water and mix well.
3. Add oat mixture to crock pot and stir gently. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 7 hours.
4. Add butter and mix well.
5. Grab a spoon and enjoy!
