Throw 2 sliced apples, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon in the bottom of the crock pot. Pour 2 cups of oatmeal and 4 cups of water on top. Do NOT stir. Cook overnight for 8 - 9 hours on low.
Sounds easy enough.
The website the pin orginally came from led to a page with the picture above and a title saying:
slow cooker apple cinnamon oatmeal...cook overnight to wake up to delicious smells and a tasty breakfast!
I used Red Delicious apples because that's what I had at home. I did exactly as the directions said on the pin, turned my crockpot on low, and went to bed.
I woke up and went downstairs immediately to check my creation. It sure did smell good and it was definitely cooked after 8 hours!
Here's what my oatmeal looked like (sorry it's a little blurry):
And the verdict? Needs more sugar! It didn't taste bad, but it wasn't all that good either. I added about a tablespoon of white sugar to my bowl of oatmeal. The oatmeal itself was kind of mushy. Maybe it cooked too long?
I found a similar recipe that is done over the stove top. There's NO sugar in that recipe so I'm guessing it'll come out about the same. Bummer, I really liked the idea of this recipe!
The Bottom Line: NOT WORTH IT
