Overnight Crockpot Oatmeal

I've been dying to try an overnight crockpot oatmeal recipe, so I prepared the following and took it to my parents' house on Christmas morning.  I thought it was really good, but could have done with a little less cinnamon and a little less time in the crockpot.  I also prefer to make my oatmeal with almond milk rather than water.  It ended up cooking/staying warm way past 9 hours, but it was still good. 

Apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, and Craisins

Add oatmeal on top.

Perfect for cold mornings.
