Snow Day Apple Oatmeal

I got the call at 5:09 am that my school was closed for the day so what better thing to eat on a snow day... oatmeal! Found this recipe online and tweaked it... and it was delicious!



Slow Cooker Apple Oatmeal


- 1 cup of old fashioned oats
- 2 cups 1% milk
- splash of vanilla extract
- sprinkle of brown sugar
- 1 large apple chopped up (we used golden delicious)

Mix all the ingredients in your crock pot and cook on the high setting for 1-2 hours. Ours cooked for about an hour and a half and it was great. Jason and I both had a bowl and we have a serving left over. I could not believe how creamy and sweet it was. Top with cinnamon and enjoy :)

Things you could add that would probably taste good: chopped nuts, raisins, maple syrup instead of the brown sugar, bananas instead or with the apples
