Apple-Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal
The comfy combo of apples and cinnamon makes this baked oatmeal a breakfast treat. It may remind you of apple pie, but purely with the goodness of rolled oats, almond milk, and crisp apples.
When making this recipe (which I do almost weekly), my favorite apple combo is one honeycrisp apple + one rave apple, but of course, you can use whatever you prefer!
This recipe is hearty and wholesome, yet super easy to prepare. It’s perfect for sharing or enjoying for multiple days!
