Breakfast Apple Oatmeal

I found this, on Pinterest.  I really enjoyed it, but I did cook it longer than 6 hours, since I put it together before I went to bed.  Mine cooked for 9 hours.  The oats burnt, a bit, to the bottom,but there was plenty to eat that was yummy!  I might do the liquids 2c juice to 2c water, next time, too.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of steel cut oats*
- 3 diced apples (I use Gala)
- 1 cup apple juice (I used cider.)
- 3 cups water
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Directions - Slow Cooker

For Best Results: Combine all ingredients in slow cooker and cook for 2-4 hours on high or 4-6 hours on low until it reaches the consistency that you like. Be sure to stir every hour or so.

* You can also cook longer without stirring, but you have to add more water liquid and it does come out a bit mushier. Add an extra cup of liquid for 7-8 hours in the slow cooker.

* It must be steel cut oats when cooked in the slow cooker, as regular oats get very soggy when cooked this way. You can find steel cut oats in your local grocery store (sometimes they are called "Irish oats" or "pinhead oats"). If you would really rather use rolled oats, be sure to use the stove top method below and adjust your liquid/cooking time accordingly.
