• 3 cups water
• ¼ cup Canadian Maple Syrup
• ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• ¼ 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.)

Directions

• 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!
