Why I Love This Recipe

This Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal is an ideal heat and comfortable breakfast that gives you all the autumn heat and fuzzies. We’re speaking heat fall flavors – cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. 

Oatmeal is one in all my go-to breakfasts within the fall and winter as a result of it’s satiating and satisfyingly cozy. However I don’t at all times need to soiled a pot each morning and look ahead to the oats to prepare dinner. Enter baked oatmeal! I get the satisfaction of scorching oatmeal each morning however solely must make one batch for the work week and soiled one pan! 

Baked oatmeal is custard-like vs. porridge-like, which is one more reason I adore it. I dig the hearty texture that just about jogs my memory of a bread pudding. The opposite cool factor about baked oatmeal is you’ll be able to change up the add-in components based mostly on what you will have available. Since apples are in-season proper now, I made a decision to make an apple model however you could possibly swap in no matter fruit (or frozen fruit!) you will have available. 

This breakfast solely takes 5 minutes of hands-on prep time. And 50 minutes hands-off within the oven. Now if that’s not #BREAKFASTGOALS, I don’t know what’s.
