Overnight Oatmeal

Ingredients

• 1 cup oats
• 3 cups water
• dried fruit (optional)
• spices (optional -- I use apple pie spice blend)
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 cup half-and-half cream
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, or to taste

Directions

Just before going to bed, combine the oats, water, dried fruit and spices in a slow cooker. Set on Low, cover, and let cook overnight. In the morning, stir in the salt and half-and-half. Scoop into bowls, and sprinkle brown sugar over the top.
