Apple Cinnamon Raisin Steal Cut Oats - Slow Cooker Style

A new friend of mine (who is awesome btw) and I had just gotten our butts handed to us in a yoga sculpt class and decide to walk over to Trader Joe's to grab a few groceries. As we walked over she was telling me how she was somewhere and people were talking and she was zoning.. the next thing she hears is "it tastes like pie", this immediately grabbed her attention (see why I like her) and she quickly listened in and wrote down the recipe that was being shared. Who doesn't love something that's healthy and tastes like pie?!

I made this today and yes, it taste like apple pie but better. It's not too sweet and if you add some yogurt it gets a luscious creamy consistency. The original recipe calls for sugar which we both agree is unnecessary.

This recipe makes a TON. Cut in half if you're not sure you can live on steal cut oats for a couple of weeks or, freeze half the batch and leave the other half in the fridge for breakfast each morning. Thanks go Hayley and her "things that taste like pie radar".

2 cups uncooked steal cut oats
6 cups water
2 granny smith apples, diced
1 cup raisins
1 T cinnamon and a few shakes more
1T vanilla
Couple of shakes of nutmeg (optional)

Place all ingredients into slow cooker and cook about 4 - 6 hours; stir every once in awhile.
