APPLE-RAISIN OATMEAL

2 cups milk

1 cup old-fashioned oats

1 cup apple, peeled and chopped - tart apple works best

1/2 cup raisins

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (or other nuts, to suit your taste)

1 tbsp melted butter

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

Coat a 1 1/2-quart crock-pot or slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.

Combine all ingredients in the pot and cover. Cook on low about 3 to 4 hours or until liquid is absorbed and the oatmeal is tender.

Topping variations, if desired: additional nuts, milk, cinnamon, dash of nutmeg.

Yield: 4 servings

This is my variation of a TOH recipe.
