Ingredients

2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
3 cups water
1/4 cup Canadian Maple Syrup
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 cup steel-cut oats
2 apples cored and cut into 1-inch pieces (I used 2 large honey crisp apples.)
Optional toppings: chopped nuts chocolate chips, additional maple syrup, raisins, granola and/or nut butter

Instructions

Spray a 5- to 6-qt slow cooker with a natural cooking spray.
Add the milk, water, maple syrup, vanilla, salt. Stir in the oats and apples.
Cook, covered, on low until apples are soft and the oats are are tender, about 7-8 hours.
Gently stir the oatmeal, then spoon into bowls. If desired; add additional milk and sprinkle with your favorite toppings. I topped my oatmeal with a splash of almond milk, a drizzle of maple syrup and a couple of tablespoons of Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Granola. Delish!

Notes

Set out a topping bar for everyone to garnish their own bowls.
