Slow Cooker Cranberry Apple Oatmeal | This creamy good for you breakfast will add fuel to your body and is great for a grab and go breakfast.  Using the slow cooker is a great way to make oatmeal.  No more standing over a hot pot and stirring for 40 minutes.

I love making this oatmeal on Sunday, separating it into portions for a weeks worth of ready made breakfasts for you and your husband!  With the freshness of crisp apples and the sweetness of dried cranberries.  Make the perfect hearty wintertime breakfast.
