Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (do not use instant oats)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

- 2 large apples, cored and chopped into bite-sized pieces

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with a little butter or non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, stir together the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. If using nuts, add them here.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Spread the chopped apples evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the dry oat mixture over the apples and spread it out evenly.
- Slowly pour the liquid mixture over the oats. Gently shake the dish to make sure the milk reaches all the oats.
