Ingredients

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons molasses
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 medium apples, peeled and cut into 1-inch slices
2 cups steel-cut oats
2 large eggs
2-1/2 cups water
2 cups 2% milk
1 cup refrigerated vanilla dairy creamer
Optional: Chopped pecans and additional milk

Directions

Mix first 8 ingredients. Place apples in a greased 4-qt. slow cooker. Top with brown sugar mixture, then with oats.
Whisk together eggs, water, milk and creamer; pour over oats. Cook, covered, on low until oats are tender, 4-1/2 to 5 hours. If desired, serve with pecans and additional milk.

Editor's Note: This recipe was tested with Coffee-mate Natural Bliss vanilla coffee creamer.

Test Kitchen Tips

Steel-cut oats give this oatmeal more texture than old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats.

If you start this before going to bed and cook it longer than 5 hours, you'll risk burning the outside edges of the oatmeal mixture.

Health Tip: The oats plus apples add up to 5g fiber per serving, which will help keep you feeling full longer.
