Apple Pie Oatmeal
I bet you thought I was done with my oatmeal kick.
Haha. I tricked you 😉
But seriously. If you like apple pie you are going to love this with all its warm cinnamon-y delicious goodness.
Plus – it’s healthy.
Right?
I mean, what could be wrong with oatmeal, cooked apples and cinnamon?
I am a huge fan of apple crisps. I like apple pie but I totally suck at making pies that need their own crust. That is, unless I cheat and use a premade crust. And, have Mr. Yum’s help. Otherwise I put it in a skillet. I use my cast iron skillet for a lot of things.
I know this sounds like it is time-consuming. It’s not. It doesn’t take any longer than a pot of oatmeal would take to cook. 🙂
If you are pressed for time in the morning, you could make a larger batch in the crockpot for some overnight crockpot oatmeal. This way it is ready for you when you get up in the morning.
You’ll need old-fashioned oat or steal cut oats but not the quick cook time. That won’t give the apples enough time to cook and you’ll end up with hard apples and soggy oatmeal. Doesn’t sound so appetizing.

Well this oatmeal sounds good. I like both apples and oatmeal. I ran out of oats and need to get more. I just keep forgetting when I go to the store.
Hahaha…. just came back to tell you… my Hubs just called from the grocery store. He ask if there was anything I needed. I told him Oats. So thanks for helping me remember!!
This looks AMAZING. I love apple cinnamon oatmeal. I can’t wait to try this!
Me too! And this looks even better than he apple cinnamon oatmeal I normally have.
I love this hybrid! Healthy apple pie, and you can have it for breakfast without guilt because it has oatmeal!
Oatmeal is usually my go-to breakfast. Quick and easy, and this apple pie flavor sounds soooo good!

I would love some apple pie in a bowl for breakfast it looks pretty close to apple crisp.
I bet your home smelled amazing after making this! I totally love the idea of doing this in the crock pot too. Looks great and easy to make.
I have some apply sauceish stuff that was meant to be for a crumble. I wonder if it is still good because I could use this for something similar!

Man that looks so good. My son would love this because he eats tons of oatmeal especially apple cinnamon.
This sounds delicious..I am making my crock pot oatmeal today – I will give this a try! I pinned to my Breakfast Board.

I have never been a huge fan of oatmeal, but I think it’s because I didn’t prepare it right. This looks tasty!
Oh my gosh this looks delicious. This is the perfect combo!
Delicious!! There is nothing better than apples in oatmeal. Apple pie, though? I’m amazed 🙂

I’ll have to try at least one of your oatmeals. I eat it most mornings but mine don’t have as much flavor as these. I’ll have to pin this.
I’m so not a Baker that I didn’t know there’s such a thing as Apple pie spice. Anyhoo, this sounds like a perfect breakfast!

I haven’t had a nice bowl of oatmeal in some time. This sounds fantastic.
A nice, warm bowl of oatmeal is awesome on cold. winter days. This is making my hungry.
I’m not usually an oatmeal fan, but this looks really good. I love apple pie so this may be the way to trick myself into eating breakfast.
I have never been an oatmeal fan. But, I have never had oatmeal like this. I may have to give this a try!
