Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

2 medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and diced

1/2 cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar for a healthier option)

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)

1/2 tsp salt

2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Extra apple slices for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

      Add Apples: Fold in the diced apples and any optional additions like nuts and dried fruit to the dry mixture, ensuring they are well incorporated.

        Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully blended.

          Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry oat mixture and stir until everything is well combined.

            Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish. Spread it evenly, then top with extra apple slices for a beautiful presentation.

              Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oats have set.

                Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Slice into squares and serve warm, drizzled with honey or maple syrup if desired. Enjoy!
