If you have a new crockpot you might want to try it during the day so you can deal it if it starts to burn.
I didn't use that exact recipe, but found another and modified a little. Last night was the experiemntal first time and it was delicious this morning. There were major warnings about coating the crockpot and not cooking too long. I used my 4 Qt on low heat for 8 hours (the recipe called for 7 hours). It could have gone another hour or I could have reduced the liquid (1.5 cups water, 1.5 cups milk) and still been fine. The consistency of the apples and oatmeal were perfect and the brown sugar got a little crusty around the edges. A lot like eating dessert for breakfast. It was a big hit with this weeks family of 4, from me all the way down to my almost 2 year old grandson. This will be repeated throughout the winter. ^^^
