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.

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.)0
