Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal in the Slow Cooker

Apple cinnamon oatmeal is on a frequent rotation at my house. There is absolutely nothing that smells better while cooking than cinnamon and apples. Think apple pie, just healthier. This is the warmest, most comforting, best tasting breakfast in the world. Seriously. It is also full of nutrition and without any processed ingredients.
