Apple Pie Breakfast

Last year, I came across a crock pot recipe for "Apple Pie Breakfast", and I posted it here and it was a great success. The original recipe was tasty, but called for milk, maple syrup and a lot less fruit. I've adapted it to reduce the calories, while maintaining a great tasting, affordable breakfast.

Apple Pie Breakfast (Serves 6)

Ingredients:

1 cup steel cut oats* (must be steel cut, regular oats are far too mushy)
3 diced apples (I like gala the best for this recipe, but any kind will work)
1 cup of apple juice (I usually use Oasis)
3 cups of water
Nutmeg & Cinnamon to taste

Directions:

Combine all of the ingredients in your crock pot and cook (low 4-6 hours or high 2-4 hours) stirring every hour or so until it reaches the consistency you like.

Top cinnamon & nutmeg and with your choice of a drizzle of maple syrup or honey, a sprinkle of brown sugar, or plain!

Per Serving (not including topping): Calories 115 Fat 1 Carbs 26 Fibre 2

*You can find steel cut oats in most grocery or health food stores (sometimes they are called Irish Oats).

If you enjoy this recipe as much as I do, try experimenting with other fruit/juices. I just threw in a blueberry adaptation (1 cup blueberry juice and 3 cups frozen blueberries) this morning, and can't wait to see how it turns out.

    I made the blueberry version yesterday and it was AWESOME. It was only 116 calories, and VERY tasty. It was just like blueberry pie :)

    This sounds delish! I will have to try it!! Here is a little thing I do with rolled oats (not instant), water, craisins, broken pecan pieces, cinnamon and I stir in a little Stevia about 1/4 to 1/2 packet, boil til done . ( I don't eat it with milk it it but you could use a fat free if you like.)

    Thanks! :) I've never frozen it before (never lasts that long in my house!), but it refrigerates well! It tastes great the next day.

    Yum, I'm making this right now! I can't wait to try it for "dessert" tonight :)

    I made it, but only got 4 cups out of the recipe...but at 212 cals per cup, it's still not bad for a dessert!

    ETA: For 6 servings, I got 141 cals/ea, not 115...I wonder why?

    Apples and apple juices will all have different calories than each other.

    I used 3 gala apples as suggested in the recipe, and the oasis apple juice she uses has 117 cals per cup where the Mott's that I used has 120 cals per cup. So not a huge difference. And while 36 cals isn't a huge difference per cup, it is more and could mean something if someone does eat more than a cup. Just want to make sure I calculated correctly...

    I find that some recipes cook differently in different climates. I'm in Alberta, Canada, deep in the rocky mountains. When I make recipes at my Gramma's (she lives near the ocean), I always get a bit of variation. If you like the taste and consistency when you only get 4 cups, I would leave it. If not, try adding an extra cup or so of liquid and see how it goes. That would help bump up the amount slightly. :) Thanks for trying my recipe!
