Nice to wake up to hot apple oatmeal all ready to go. Made as written using the wheat berry option. We really like nice chewy wheat berries, but these stayed a little hard?? The taste was very nice with the apples and apple juice making it sweet enough that no sweetener is needed. Thanks for the post.

Goodness. . .hate to do this. . .but this just didn't work for us. I made the recipe as written (even went out and bought steel cut oats) using the oat bran and apple juice options. My oatmeal cooked on low for 8.5 hours, covered. It was pillowy, fluffy, bland mush. We did add some walnuts and Stevia and ate it for breakfast though. Thanks for posting. . .I had fun making it!

It was so nice to wake up to the aroma of cinnamon and apples, and to have a delicious breakfast ready and waiting to be enjoyed. I used the oat bran option since I had some on hand and also added 1/4 cup of powdered milk to the mixture since I usually cook my oatmeal in milk rather than water. To serve, I poured on more milk and sprinkled it with brown sugar. Made for NEWEST ZAAR TAG.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
