Slow Cooker Apple Oatmeal
Can you imagine waking up and having a hot delicious breakfast waiting there for you? Just open the lid, ladle the creamy oatmeal onto a bowl, and start the day off right.
This Slow Cooker Apple Oatmeal is full of flavor with the use of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves. Kinda like apple pie in the morning. Top with your favorite ingredients like almonds, maple syrup, or some more cinnamon.
Lately, I’ve been using my crock pot for everything! It works for breakfast, lunch and even dessert. Now that I’ve been busier, I need some recipes that don’t need babysitting and this apple oatmeal is the perfect one.
Instead of standing over the stove stirring and mixing, I just throw everything in the slow cooker and let him do all the work. Since it cooks overnight, the flavors develop much more intensely without the apples turning mushy.
Winter is the time to crave comfort food and believe it or not, mornings have been really cold in Miami these past few days. Waking up to a hot bowl of apple oatmeal has warmed me up inside by starting the day off right. My girls love it too!
This Slow Cooker Apple Oatmeal recipe makes a big batch. You can just refrigerate the leftovers and just microwave with a splash of almond milk and it will taste perfect.

Awesome Janet! Let me know what you think!
Love this recipe! Do you know how many calories per serving?
Thanks Shannon. I can’t say for sure since the different nutrition websites generate different answers :s
This was awesome!! We added a little brown sugar and raisins for the kids and it was so delicious. Will be making this A LOT, Thank you!
You’re welcome Lauren! Great idea on adding the raisins! Thanks for your feedback
can I use less milk or substitute some milk with water?
Yes Stacy!
Bit of trouble with this one. Mine turned out dark. Might be the fact I used three cups of Almond Milk and one cup water, or that I did not use Gala Apples. I’ll try again.
Oh Jim, so sorry about that. Did it burn on the bottom?
This is truly delicious. I am not a fan of almond milk, so replaced it with a can of coconut cream and equal volume of water. Everyone from young and more mature loved it. Thank you
Yummy Coconut Cream must give it so much creaminess. Thanks for your feedback Chris
Hi. When you say it’s for 6 servings how many cups would that per serving? Thank you!! The oatmeal is currently in my slow cooker now and smells delicious, I added blueberries and strawberries to the recipe!
About a cup Jennifer. I love your idea of adding some berries to the mix! it will give a nice color and acidity to the recipe
What if I only have one minute oats in my pantry? Can I make that work?
absolutely Ashley!
