Step 1
Start by giving your slow cooker a quick spray with some cooking spray to keep things from sticking. Pour in the almond milk, water, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, then whisk everything together until it’s well combined. Toss in the oats, dried cranberries, and butter, stirring gently to mix. Set your slow cooker to low and let it cook for about 3 and a half hours. After that, stir in the diced apples and pecans, then let it cook for another 2 hours on low. When it’s done, give it one last stir and enjoy a cozy, hearty bowl!

How to serve

Storage & leftovers
