Overnight Crock Pot Apple Pie Oatmeal is incredibly delicious and super easy to make! I wake up really early every day to make breakfast for my family, get the kid’s school lunches packed, get ready for work, and on weekends, get everything ready for my son’s baseball games. Mornings are very busy and before I know it, it is time to walk out the door to the bus stop or get in the car to drive to a game. I enjoy making different breakfasts throughout the week and oatmeal is usually in the rotation. Last week flew by and I knew Friday would be busy with work and my son’s baseball game, so I got a little head start on the day by making breakfast on Thursday night! I loved waking up and already having breakfast ready. We all loved this oatmeal and felt like we were getting dessert first thing in morning. It was awesome to have a special treat before heading off to school and work! {Overnight} Crock Pot Apple Pie Oatmeal is a delicious fall breakfast that the whole family will enjoy!

Goodmorning real housemom,
thank you for this recipe. At the moment I’m on a diet, but after I will try this one for sure.
I live in Holland, it’s not common here to use a crockpot. But probably I will get one this week by an american collegue of mine 😉
I will come back to your site for more crockpot recepies.
Ciao ciao Gea

Thank you Lauren! I didn’t have any issues with oats, but you might want to try using steel cut oats to avoid overcooking them. Thanks for coming over and we will definitely come visit you too!

I would sooooo love this! Love anything oatmeal, and apples are always a PLUS. Looks fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing at Weekend Potluck. We’d love it if you’d link back to the party in your post (it makes you eligible to be featured=). Please come back soon.
Stacey says
Thank you The Better Baker!!! We really loved it. You might want to try using steel cut oats!

I’ve never been a huge fan of oatmeal, being that I only ever ate instant oats as a child. I decided to make this for family coming over Thanksgiving morning. I wanted a slightly more healthy breakfast, given that we would be gording ourselves later in the day. This recipe was suprisingly really delicious and simple. It gave me a new found love for the steel cut oats. It also makes a substantial portion, given the price of the ingredients. I made a double batch and it was enough to feed the family on Thanksgiving day and keep us eating through the rest of the holiday weekend. We liked it so much, we will be making it during the week for breakfasts and probably try a few other adaptations. Thanks for the great recipe!!

I made this last night and kept it on low as my crock pot didn’t have a warm setting. It was fine. I also used Almond milk and added walnuts. Being one of the coldest nights of the year last night, it was nice to wake up to this delicious dish for breakfast. As my mother would say, ” it will stick to your ribs on a cold day like this!” Mom are always right!
Aubrey says
I’m so glad Mj! Stay warm this winter. 🙂
Ebony says
Can you do this with Old Fashioned oats?
Aubrey Cota says
I wouldn’t. They are less dense and could really burn.
Pamela Graham says
I buy Smart Ones two containers in a box frozen oatmeal to eat two per week since they are so expensive. I can hardly wait to try this and freeze it. I will let you know!!
Aubrey says
I can’t wait to hear how it goes Pamela!
Angela says
How many does this serve??
Janelle says
My crockpot must be hotter than yours. I made this exactly as written and I woke up to dark brown crispy burned oatmeal. =( Maybe I’ll try again and just keep it on warm the whole time without putting it on low first. It looked so yummy!
Rebekah says
How many hours did you leave it?
Julie @Real Housemoms says
We leave it on warm for about 8 hours.
