With tender, caramelized apples and lightly spiced maple syrup oats, this Baked Apple Oatmeal is the perfect fall breakfast. Leftovers reheat in just 60 seconds, so it’s ideal for busy school day mornings.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced apples, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Cook for 6 minutes until slightly softened but still chunky, then remove from heat.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla.
Add the wet ingredients to the oats and stir until combined. Fold in most of the cooked apples, reserving some for the top.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish and top with the remaining apples.
Bake for 45 minutes, until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with maple syrup, Greek yogurt, or a splash of milk.
