Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups old fashioned oats
- 2 tablespoon apple pie spice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups 2% reduced-fat milk or plant-based milk for a vegan or dairy-free version
- 1 large egg or vegan egg substitute
- ½ cup (sugar-free) honey or pure maple syrup (plus 2 tablespoon for caramelizing apples)
- 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon apple sauce unsweetened
- 1 large apple cored and sliced (either sweet or tart apples)
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter or coconut oil for a dairy-free version or vegan
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F and grease a baking dish (either 8 x 8-inch, or 8 x 5-inch). In a large bowl, combine oats, apple pie spice, and baking powder. Set aside!
- Then, in a separate bowl, whisk together milk, an egg, honey or pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and apple sauce until well combined. Gently stir the oat mixture with the milk mixture until incorporated. Pour into reserved greased baking dish.
- Bake for about 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Let cool at room temp for at least 10 minutes before serving -- or overnight, loosely covered.
- Meanwhile, prepare the caramelized apples. In a large no-stick skillet, melt unsalted butter over medium heat, stir in honey, and cook apples for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
- Top apple baked oatmeal. If desired, garnish with pomegranate seeds.

Notes
- MAKE-AHEAD: If you prefer, you can make the night before, bake, loosely cover to cool at room temp overnight, and reheat in the morning -- or make, refrigerate, and bake right before serving.
- Baked oatmeal is a traditional comforting breakfast casserole. This one is flavored with apple pie spice and topped with caramelized apples.
- TO FREEZE, simply make the baked oatmeal, bake it, let cool to room temp, and then freeze in individual portions in freezer bags or containers for up to 3 months.
