These easy apple-y oats let your family have a warm and cozy breakfast no matter how busy you are. —Teri Rasey, Cadillac, Michigan

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.
