Ingredients
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 cups whole milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
2–3 large tart sweet apples (Honey Crisp or Gala)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F and grease your baking pan thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and brown sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter or coconut oil until well combined.
Spread the diced apples evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Pour the oat mixture over the apples, followed by the wet ingredients.
Use a spatula to gently press the oats down so they are fully submerged in the liquid.
Bake for 35-45 minutes until the center is set and the top has turned golden brown.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
You can prepare this dish the night before by mixing all ingredients and refrigerating, which helps the oats absorb the moisture for a softer texture. For a warmer dish, bake it fresh in the morning. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
