Crock-Pot Caramel Apple Oatmeal




THIS WAS AWESOME. I mean, really, really good. Amazing. YUM!


(I cut and pasted this from https://www.facebook.com/#!/RecipesforGals) I am just trying it and will let you know what I think.... so far, it looks INCREDIBLE. I love her book: http://www.amazon.com/Ways-Oatmeal-Other-Treats-Tricks/dp/1936631024 I just love it. I have had oatmeal all weekend and have more on our menu for the upcoming week... ***************************** Crock-Pot Caramel Apple Oatmeal This is so good. I could easily say oatmeal is my favorite meal of the day. Makes 5 servings Ingredients: 8 cups chopped Fuji apples (about 6 apples) 1/4 cup TORANI sugar-free CARAMEL syrup (this is to die for - I just bought a bunch of new flavors) 2 tbsp. brown sugar or brown sugar/splenda mix (not packed) 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, divided 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats 1 cup light vanilla soymilk 1/3 cup sugar-free pancake syrup 1/2 tsp. salt Directions:In a large bowl, mix apples with 1 tbsp. brown sugar and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. Stir to coat apples well. Transfer to the crock pot.In the empty bowl, combine oats, soymilk, 1 tbsp. brown sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon, syrup, and salt. Add 1 cup water and mix well.Add oat mixture to the crock pot, and gently stir. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 7 hours.
