Slow Cooker Apples & Oats

Slow Cooker Apples and Oats is the best of both worlds. Heck, it is even the best of about four worlds. It is healthy, a breakfast, a dessert, is quick to throw together and is ready straight out of the crock pot. Since the recipe does not cook overnight it really works out more for brunch than breakfast. That is kind of how it is everyday at my house anyway. I just can’t get to eating until later in the morning. Yes, they say it is better for you to have a breakfast to help with your energy but, I swear, I just get sluggish if I eat right off the bat. I have lots of relatives that like it right away though. Well, enough about me.

Let’s talk about apples with cinnamon and coconut sugar. Yes, and oats and pecans where everything is cooked together with wonderful accents of flavor. I can just smell it.
