Ingredients

for the sauteed apples:
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cups peeled and chopped apples see note
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup fresh pressed unfiltered apple cider
for the oatmeal:
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1 cups steel cut oats
for the streusel:
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup old fashioned oats
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature, cut into 1/2” pieces, (do not melt)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Butter a deep 9'' square baking dish or a similar dish that holds about 2 quarts. Set aside.
  2. For the sauteed apples: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon, and stir to coat. Pour in apple cider and cook until apples are soft and cider has reduced and mostly disappeared from the pan, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
  3. For the oatmeal: In a large bowl, whisk together butter, milk, applesauce, eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla. Stir in the sauteed apples, then the old fashioned oats and steel cut oats.
  4. Transfer to prepared baking dish and spread oatmeal mixture evenly. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the oatmeal mixture. Refrigerate overnight.
  5. For the streusel: In a medium bowl, use a fork to stir together the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and baking powder. Using the fork, cut in the butter until there are large pea-sized crumbs. This can be prepared the night before, and covered, but don't add it to the oatmeal mixture until you are ready to bake it in the morning.
  6. To finish: The following morning, preheat oven to 375° F. Unwrap the oatmeal mixture and top it with the prepared streusel. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until oatmeal is thoroughly hot and the streusel is golden brown. If you want the streusel to be more browned and crunchy, simply place under the broiler for a couple minutes.
  7. Serve hot or warm, all on its own, or in a bowl with warmed milk or cream.

Notes
