Steel-cut oats offer a nutty alternative to hot cereal made with rolled oats. If you prefer, substitute firm pears for apples or dried cranberries for the raisins.
How to Make It
Step 1
Combine first 8 ingredients in an 8-cup heatproof glass bowl. Set bowl in a 6-quart slow cooker; add cold water to slow cooker, filling until water comes three-fourths of the way up outside of bowl. Cover slow cooker; cook on LOW 8 hours or until oats are thick and creamy.
Step 2
Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add apples; cook 3 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Stir oats; spoon into bowls. Top with apples.

I halved the recipe and used my 8 cup Pyrex liquid measure container inside the crock pot. It only took 6 hours to fully cook. The flavors were ok - this is not very sweet and I couldn't really taste the maple. The oatmeal was nice and creamy; love those steel cut oats. To bring it up to 5 stars I think I'd need some cream and brown sugar.

yummy
Easy and good
Very good! We have a large oval crock pot and cannot fit any bowls large enough into it so I cut the recipe by 1/3 and cooked for 6 hours, then crock switches to warm for another 2 hours. Turned out really good, leftovers the next morning we also good.
