Fall Apple Pie Simmer Pot

I don't know about you, but I get excited about fall decorating. The change of colors is always so pretty and fall just feels like such a cozy season. 

One of my other favorite things about fall is all of the wonderful scents. Ahhh, the crisp fall air! There’s something so magical about it, and it’s the perfect time of year to enjoy all of the delicious aromas that come with the season. The rich spices like ground cinnamon and cloves bring a warmth to the air that can’t be denied.  Whether you’re cozying up to a fire, baking a delicious treat, or just taking in the sights and smells of the season, the crisp fall air, the rich spices, fresh apples, ground cinnamon, and cloves are all sure to bring a smile to your face. What's not to love?!

DIY simmer pots are a great way to make your home smell amazing with no added chemicals or artificial fragrances. The scent of apple pie will fill your home in no time! It only takes a few minutes and it really does make the house smell sublime.  It’s also fun to experiment with different ingredients, so play around with what you have and see what you can come up with.

I usually make this simmer pot on the stove but decided to try my small 1.5-quart slow cooker, because I don't have to keep such an eagle eye on it. If you are interested in a small slow cooker try this one ➤ Amazon.com: Elite Gourmet MST-250XW# Electric Slow Cooker.

APPLE PIE Simmer pot

• 1 small apple thinly sliced
• 2 cups liquid (apple cider, apple juice, or water)
• 1 tbsp. whole cloves
• 3-4 cinnamon sticks
• 1 tbsp. nutmeg

1. Add all of the ingredients to a small saucepan and stir.  Bring to a gentle boil and then reduce heat to low. Continuously add more liquid (either cider or water) as needed and do not allow it to dry up.  
2. Or do add all the ingredients to a crockpot, stir, and select the HIGH setting. Once it's hot, you can turn the setting to LOW or WARM.
3. Stir it up every hour to get the scent going.  
4. If you use a crockpot, you may need to increase the recipe size depending on the size of your crockpot.  

I will keep the mixture going in the slow cooker for up to a week. This is a great way to enjoy the scent for an extended period of time, and also to be able to adjust the strength as desired. Each evening, I turn off the slow cooker, and in the morning I turn it back on. As the week progresses, I may add in some citrus peels or apple cores to give a bit of extra flavor, or I may add a bit more of the spices I used in the beginning. This ensures that the scent remains strong and fragrant throughout the week. I keep it going until either it doesn’t look too good, or the smell isn’t as strong as it was when I first started.

Do you use a simmer pot to make your house smell delicious? We'd love to hear from you. Comment and share below!

Keep it sassy,

Kelly

Let’s Celebrate National Oatmeal Month with 10 Recipes

***UPDATED 1/6/23***

In January, National Oatmeal Month declares it’s possible to create healthy changes with this grain. Celebrate all month long by incorporating oatmeal in your breakfast and snacks. 

Do you love oatmeal as much as I do? I think oatmeal is underrated. You can do so much with it besides eating it in a bowl. You can make yummy granola, and muffins, add them to smoothies, and a multitude of other delicious food items. It's not only good to eat, you can make a face mask, and add it to a bath to relieve itchy skin.

I found 10 recipes that are not only delicious but good for you. All these recipes come from Delish. You can subscribe to Delish $3 a month or $20 annually. They have some wonderful recipes. 

Tropical Oatmeal with Coconut and Mango 

Cooking the oatmeal in coconut milk gives this bowl a subtly sweet flavor and extra-creamy texture. Topped with mango and toasted coconut flakes, each bite gets you one step closer to the Tropics.

Caramel Apple Pie Oatmeal

Yes, we love apple pie so much that we turned it into oatmeal. Drizzled with caramel, it's a breakfast you won't forget.

Strawberries 'N Cream Oatmeal

Strawberries in cream forever.

Banana Split Oatmeal

The beloved sundae has ingredients we'd normally top on oatmeal: banana, walnuts, and chocolate chips. Oh, and sprinkles, which we're always looking for an excuse to eat for breakfast.

S'mores Oatmeal

You can't act surprised that we found a way to turn an otherwise totally healthy bowl of plain oatmeal into a vehicle for s'mores toppings. Whether you're eating this as a YOLO breakfast or low-guilt dessert, it's a winner.

Maple Bacon Oatmeal

We're still looking for a food that doesn't work well maple bacon flavored. This ain't one of them.

PB&J Oatmeal

Relive your childhood already, jeez.

Oatmeal with Cranberries and Pistachios

If you're the type who doesn't want mini marshmallows and chocolate stirred into oatmeal (we know you're out there somewhere), we got you: Top with maple syrup, cranberries, and pistachios. 

Oatmeal with Apples, Pecans, and Cinnamon

Infused with apples, this oatmeal has all the fall flavors you love most. One of my personal favorites.

Triple Chocolate Oatmeal

We're in love with that cocoa: Stirring cocoa powder into cooked oatmeal and topping it with mini chocolate chips is our dream.

I hope you found a recipe that you would like to try. I am all for adding tidbits to my oatmeal bowl. Do you like to eat oatmeal? What's your favorite flavor or recipe? We'd love to hear from you.

Stay safe and sassy,

~ Kelly
