How’d it Taste?

  • Theresa Trybus says:

    This sounds good but I don’t have a slow cooker. Can I make it on the stove top?

    • Tess Wells says:

      Hi Theresa,
      Because the apples need some time to soften, you could try cooking them separately on the stove until they are to your liking, and then adding them and the rest of the ingredients to oatmeal cooked on the stovetop according to package instructions.
