Milk substitute in crockpot oatmeal apple breakfast cobbler thing?

Question

Recipe: cook for 8-9 hours on low: Place 2 sliced apples, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, pinch salt in the bottom of the crock pot. Pour in 2 cups of oatmeal, 2 cups of milk and 2 cups water.

Given that I only have one cup of milk, what should I substitute for the other cup of milk? I have water, eggs, and yogurt. I don't think yogurt would be good simmering for a long time in the crockpot (it might curdle). I was thinking water and eggs, but I was not sure of the ratio. Thanks!

Do you have any canned evaporated or condensed milk?

David · Answer

heavy cream is really the only substitute that makes sense.  Start without any substitute and check on it every hour or so.  If it looks dry add water a spoonful at a time.  In the morning when it has cooled to slightly warmer than room temp you could then add some yogurt in for extra richness.

I also have butter. That might make it too oily though.

David · Answer

I wouldn't add eggs.  I would just add another cup of water.  Is anyone coming by your house in the next 9 hours or will you need to go out or do you have a friendly neighbor.  You could start it minus the extra cup of milk and add that later on.
