Health Tip: The oats plus apples add up to 5g fiber per serving, which will help keep you feeling full longer.
Test Kitchen Tips
  • Steel-cut oats give this oatmeal more texture than old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats.
  • If you start this before going to bed and cook it longer than 5 hours, you'll risk burning the outside edges of the oatmeal mixture.
    • Editor's Note: This recipe was tested with Coffee-mate Natural Bliss vanilla coffee creamer.
