This Crockpot Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal is a warm, comforting, and nutritious breakfast dish that’s easy to prepare overnight. Made with steel-cut oats, fresh apples, and warming spices, it offers a naturally sweet and hearty start to your day with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale

Oatmeal Base

  • 1 cup steel-cut oats
  • 4 cups water
  • A pinch of salt

Fruits & Flavorings

  • 2 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Sweetener (Optional)

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the steel-cut oats, water, peeled and chopped apples, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the crockpot. Stir everything together to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  2. Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on the low setting for 6 to 8 hours. This slow cooking process allows the oats to become tender and absorb the flavors of the apples and spices.
  3. Serve: Once cooking is complete, stir the oatmeal well to combine any settled ingredients. Serve warm with optional toppings like nuts, dried fruit, or a drizzle of maple syrup for added texture and sweetness.

Notes

  • If you prefer a sweeter oatmeal, increase the brown sugar or add maple syrup when serving.
  • Steel-cut oats need longer cooking times compared to rolled oats; do not substitute unless adjusting cook time.
  • Cooking times can vary depending on your crockpot model; check for doneness after 6 hours.
  • Add toppings like chopped nuts or dried berries for texture variation.
  • This recipe can be doubled easily for larger servings.
  • For a vegan option, ensure your brown sugar is vegan and skip any dairy toppings.
