Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal
Description
Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal begins by coring and dicing apples tossed with lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and cornstarch, which helps thicken the filling during an initial covered bake. Meanwhile, a mixture of applesauce, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt, baking powder, milk, cinnamon, and rolled oats is combined to create a moist, spiced batter. After the apples partially bake, the oat batter is poured over the cooked fruit and returned to the oven uncovered for 30 minutes. The oats brown on top while the apple layer bubbles gently around the sides, combining tart, sweet, and warm spice notes.
The finished oatmeal has a textural contrast between soft, spiced fruit and tender oats with a lightly crisp surface. It is suitable for cutting and serving warm or at room temperature.
Using whole milk is recommended, but any milk type including non-dairy can be used based on preference or dietary needs.
Ingredients
Baked Apple Layer
- 4 medium apple $2.66, about 2 lbs. total
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice $0.06
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar $0.06
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch $0.03
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon $0.05
- 1/8 tsp cloves $0.02
Baked Oatmeal Layer
- 1.5 cups applesauce $0.91, unsweetened
- 1/4 cup brown sugar $0.12
- 2 large egg $0.18
- 1 tsp vanilla extract $0.59
- 1 tsp salt $0.05
- 1 tsp baking powder $0.06
- 1 tsp cinnamon $0.10
- 1.5 cups milk $0.72
- 2.5 cups rolled oats $0.72, old-fashioned
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Core and dice the apples.
- Place the diced apples in the bottom of a 9x9-inch (or 2 qt.) casserole dish. Add the lemon juice, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and cloves. Stir until the apples are coated in sugar and spices.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
- While the apples are baking, prepare the baked oatmeal mixture. In a large bowl, whisk together the applesauce, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. Then add the milk and whisk to combine again.
- Finally, stir the dry oats into the applesauce mixture and stir until fully combined.
- After the apples come out of the oven, give them a good stir, then pour the oat mixture over top. Return the dish to the oven (uncovered) and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
- After baking for 30 more minutes the oats should be golden brown on top and you may see some of the apple cinnamon layer bubbling up around the edges. Let the oats cool for about five minutes before serving.
Notes
- Whole milk is recommended for best texture but non-dairy milk substitutes are acceptable.
- Partially baking the apple layer before adding oats helps achieve distinct layers and flavorful fruit.
- Let the baked oatmeal cool about five minutes before serving for easier slicing and handling.
