Warm Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Bake

Ingredients

- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 2 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to heat fully while you prepare the oatmeal bake.

2. Prepare the apple mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Toss until the apple pieces are well coated and set aside.

3. Mix the dry ingredients: In another bowl, mix the oats with the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine thoroughly.

4. Combine the wet ingredients: Beat the eggs in a medium bowl. Add in the milk and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.

5. Assemble the bake: Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread the cinnamon-sugar coated apples evenly at the bottom. Layer the oat mixture over the apples. Finally, pour the milk and egg mixture over the oats, ensuring even distribution.

6. Add final touches: Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar over the top to create a lovely caramelized layer once baked.

7. Bake the oatmeal: Place the dish in your preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, until the top is golden and the oats have absorbed the liquid. The edges should appear slightly crisp.

8. Cool and serve: Allow the oatmeal bake to cool for a few minutes before serving to enhance its flavors. Serve warm for the best tasting experience.
