This mythical dish is so tempting that you’ll reach for a second bite.
Ingredients:
- 2 large apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), chopped
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1⁄2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, for a crunchy curse)
- 1⁄4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1⁄2 tsp nutmeg
- 1⁄4 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk (or almond milk for a lighter fate)
- 2 tbsp melted butter (or coconut oil)
- 1 egg (or flax egg for a plant-based twist)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1⁄4 cup maple syrup or honey
Instructions:
- Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish (an 8×8-inch works well).
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Combine the oats, chopped nuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and maple syrup in a separate bowl.
- Spread the chopped apples evenly across the baking dish. Sprinkle the oat mixture on top, then pour the wet mixture over everything, ensuring the oats soak up the liquid.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden and slightly crisp on top. The aroma will be divine—but beware, you must wait to let it cool slightly before indulging.
