Apple Spice Oatmeal

- Next add oats, water, half & half, diced apples, apple pie spice, vanilla extract, and brown sugar.
- Stir to combine all flavors.
- Cover and set the slow cooker on warm for 8 hours.
- Once oatmeal is done garnish with toasted pecans and an extra sprinkle of spice and sugar!
Toasted Pecans
- Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and evenly spread out the pecan pieces.
- Mist with cooking spray (or melted butter) and toss to coat.

This looks delicious! It's hard to resist apple pie for breakfast! I've never tried oatmeal in my slow cooker...I'll have to give it a try!

This recipe sounds so delicious. I was looking for something for the kiddos besides cereal and milk every morning. Besides, I'm out of milk, but I just happen to have half and half, and everything else the recipe called for. I have a confession, I added Saigon Cinnamon (just because I LOVE cinnamon and it goes with apples!) and a bit of Pure Maple Syrup. I just turned on the crock pot, can't wait to awaken to the heavenly smell of cinnamon, apples, and oatmeal waiting to be enjoyed on a cool, "almost fall" morning! Thank you for your post and awesome site!
