1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

Cut apples into pieces and remove the core with the seeds; then chop apples into pieces. I made the pieces different sizes so some apples would dissolve slightly while others stayed chunky.
Spray the CrockPot crockery container with nonstick spray. Then add the apples, sweetener of your choice, brown sugar (or more sweetener), cinnamon, and salt.
Add from 3 to 3 1/2 cups of water, depending on how thick you want the finished oatmeal to be.
Stir together and cook on high for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Add oatmeal and stir ingredients together, then continue to cook on high for an additional 45 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes, depending on how soft you’d like the finished oatmeal to be. (I would start checking after 45 minutes.)
Serve hot, with half and half, milk, or almond milk as desired.
This oatmeal can be stored in the fridge overnight and reheated in the morning. You may want to add a little water when you reheat it, then microwave for about 1 minute or heat for a few minutes in a small pan on top of the stove.
I haven’t tried freezing the Apple Pie Oatmeal, but if anyone does try it, I’d love to hear how it works.

Notes

For a sweeter flavor, you can substitute the Golden Monkfruit Sweetener with your preferred sweetener.
Adjust the consistency by varying the amount of water you add.
