2 cinnamon sticks, broken or 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
6 cups water |
maple syrup |
french vanilla yogurt (optional) |

1. In a slow-cooker, combine apples, oats, vanilla, cinnamon, and water; cover and cook for 2 hours on high or 4 hours on low, stirring occasionally.
2. To serve, drizzle with about 1 tablespoons maple syrup, or to taste.
3. Top with yogurt, if desired.
4. To decorate, stick three thin apple slices and a cinnamon in the top of the oats and serve.
