Crock pot breakfast cobbler – Breakfast at Clique-any’s

There’s nothing like starting the day with a warm breakfast … except maybe smelling it cooking while you’re still in bed. That’s the beauty of this crock pot breakfast cobbler.

Another thing I like about this recipe is that it is so easy to prepare the night before. Let’s face it, no one really wants to be making a gourmet breakfast at ten-o-clock at night. What Keith and I do is dump all the ingredients into the crock pot when we are cleaning the kitchen from dinner, then we push the start button before we head to bed.

This is a recipe we’ve made for years, especially when we have lots of apples to use up. I’ve based it on this recipe for breakfast cobbler, but it has morphed throughout the years and we actually make it different every time … and there’s not really a whole lot of measuring going on these days.

Ingredients:

6 apples, peeled, cored and slice (yes, get the fancy gadget; it’s worth every penny)
about 2 tablespoons of maple syrup
about 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
2 tablespoons melted butter
about 2 cups of your favorite granola cereal (we use whatever is in the cabinet by Nature’s Path, who incidentally has a new one sweetened exclusively with agave syrup)
about 1/4 cup slivered almonds

Place all ingredients in your crock pot. I put the cereal and almonds on top and don’t stir it until the next morning, but anything goes really. Cook overnight on low, about 8 hours.

I like to serve it with a dollop of plain, whole milk organic yogurt. But the spoon’s the most important part!

You can alter this recipe in endless ways — try adding some dried cranberries, using pears along with the apples, or mixing some nutmeg in along with the cinnamon. I’m not sure you could go wrong, unless you put in mayonnaise or something….
