Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 cup pure maple syrup or honey

2 cups of milk of your choice (dairy, almond, oat, or coconut)

2 large eggs

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Cooking spray or muffin cups for greasing

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8x8-inch baking dish by greasing it with cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper to help with easy removal later.

    Prepare the Oats: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the spices.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup (or honey), eggs, unsweetened applesauce, and pure vanilla extract until everything is well incorporated and smooth.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry oat mixture, stirring gently to combine. Once mixed, carefully fold in the diced apples, along with the walnuts (if using) and the raisins or dried cranberries for added sweetness and texture.

          Bake the Oat Mixture: Transfer the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is a beautiful golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

            Cool and Serve: After baking, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. Once cooled, slice into squares. Serve warm, and consider topping with a drizzle of maple syrup, a scoop of Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon for an added touch of deliciousness!
