Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats

4 cups almond milk (or your choice of milk)

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1/2 cup brown sugar (or maple syrup for a healthier option)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Fresh apple slices and additional cinnamon for serving (optional)

Instructions

In your crockpot, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, diced apples, brown sugar (or maple syrup), ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), raisins (or cranberries), chopped nuts (if desired), vanilla extract, and salt.

Stir the mixture well to ensure that all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Set your crockpot to low heat and let the oats cook for approximately 6-8 hours, or until the oats are tender and creamy. If you're in a rush, you can cook on high for about 3-4 hours.

Once cooked, give the oats a good stir, adjusting the consistency as needed with more milk if you prefer it creamier.

Serve warm, topped with fresh apple slices, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and additional nuts if desired.
