OVERNIGHT APPLE PIE BREAKFAST

Once cooked, this recipe keeps very well in the fridge for a couple of days.

Ingredients

1 cup of steel cut oats***

3 peeled & diced apples (about 3 cups)

1 cup apple juice 

3 cups water

2 TBL brown sugar (optional, but I always use)

1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional but I always use)

Directions - Slow Cooker (I half this recipe for my 2 qt. crock pot)

For Best Results: Combine all ingredients in slow cooker and cook for 2-4 hours on high or 4-6 hours on low until it reaches the consistency that you like. Be sure to stir every hour or so.

Directions - Stovetop Method

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 30 minutes, or until it reaches the consistency that you like.

Delicious when topped with a drizzle of maple syrup, honey, or another dash of cinnamon.

This recipe makes 6 - 1 cup servings.

*** It must be steel cut oats when cooked in the slow cooker, as regular oats get very soggy when cooked this way. (sometimes they are called "irish oats" or "pinhead oats").
