Crock Pot Pears And Oatmeal

---

I've converted my recipe #160393 to a breakfast crock pot recipe what a tasty way to start the day (and i don't even like oatmeal)! apples could be substituted. sometimes i substitute equal parts of homemade granola for some of the oatmeal! be sure to use steel cut oatmeal, as rolled oatmeal will cook too quickly. do not use the large 6 qt. Crock pots for this recipe, and if you cut the recipe in 1/2 use one of the mini-crock pots.
