Slow Cooker Recipe
Breakfast Apple Cobbler
Have you noticed that sometimes leftover dessert makes a great breakfast? We were looking for good, healthy dessert recipes recently and dove into the breakfast sections of our cookbooks. Sometimes these great cobblers and other treats are listed as a “breakfast sweet” and we don’t consider them for anything else.
We found this tasty little treat that can be served any time of the day!

I see stats at the end of the recipe, which the recipe itself looks wonderful. However, how can you give the stats without the serving size? It takes 6 to 8 apples which would mean serving size one apple. Each apple is different in size and for the normal world that doesn’t always calculate once an item is cut into pieces. Any info you could add would be wonderful. In my guessing I am thinking half cup, but then some of the other numbers seem really high.
I have to agree wtih Kelly – The carb count is very high — especially for a diabetic. Don’t think this would be so healthy, but definitely looks and sounds delicious.
How about using only half as much sugar, but adding a bit more cinnamon, a bit of nutmeg, or even some ginger? What is in that granola? Would plain oatmeal work? Would all sugar substitute work, or would it not, for some reason? I know heating it seems to be a no no. Can this be cut in half? Most important – how big is the portion size?
Well one thing that would help is to serve this over a half cup of Greek yogurt, that would add some much needed protein to keep the blood sugar stable for a longer time in the morning. And since this recipe serves 6 to 8 and uses 8 apples, you can probably count one serving as one fruit plus a 1/4 cup serving of granola, roughly speaking.
Way too much sugar & too many carbs to be healthy for anyone!!
Actually all you need to do is cut back the sugar completely and use AGAVE my husband is diabetic and it’s pretty easy to make it a healthy option! Thanks Phyllis I love this, gonna try it tonight
I tried this recipe two nights ago. I put everything in the crock pot per the instructions, set it on low at midnight. I woke up at 6:30 a.m. and found that it had burned onto the sides of the crock pot, also the apples turned into mush. About all it is good for is a topping for my hubby’s oatmeal in the morning. Very disappointed.
