Apple Cider Pumpkin Oatmeal is the perfect breakfast for fall!

During the fall months, I love cooking with apple cider. I love heading to my local cider mill and picking up a gallon of fresh pressed apple cider.

Cooking with apple cider adds so much fall flavor to your recipes. From gravy to braised red cabbage,  apple cider adds an earthy and unique flavor to your fall recipes.

This Apple Cider Pumpkin Oatmeal is inspired by my Slow Cooker Pumpkin Oatmeal, one of my favorite fall breakfast recipes.

I adapted the Slow Cooker Pumpkin Oatmeal to create this Apple Cider Pumpkin Oatmeal. I love the combination of apple cider and pumpkin together. The flavor combination is a very popular fall donut flavor here in the Midwest.

Lots of cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice is added to the oatmeal. The slow cooked oatmeal is sweetened with a touch of pure maple syrup.

I love using the slow cooker to make of batch of oatmeal. It is so easy to add everything to the slow cooker and just let the oatmeal cook.

The Apple Cider Pumpkin Oatmeal reheats beautifully. The oatmeal will thicken up as it sets. Simply add a little bit of water when reheating the oatmeal.

I love serving the oatmeal with walnuts and a drizzle of maple syrup.

A cozy bowl of Apple Cider Pumpkin Oatmeal is the perfect way to start the morning!
