Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker Cinnamon Apple Steel-Cut Oats.
Step 1
To create a deliciously creamy bowl of steel-cut oats, start by gathering your slow cooker and combining the water, milk, steel-cut oats, chopped apple, brown sugar, butter (if you choose to add it), ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Give everything a good stir to ensure all the ingredients are well blended.
Step 3
Once mixed, cover your slow cooker and set it to cook on the Low setting for one hour.
Step 4
After that hour has passed, lower the heat to Simmer or Warm and let the oats gently cook for an additional 7 to 8 hours.
Step 5
This slow cooking process allows the oats to absorb all the flavors and become wonderfully tender and creamy.
Step 6
Imagine waking up to the enticing aroma of cinnamon and apples wafting through your kitchen, ready to enjoy a wholesome breakfast that feels like a warm hug!.
