A delicious variation on baked oatmeal, this Amish-style apple and cinnamon baked oatmeal is so simple and delicious (and may be made the nighttime time before!).

In my rush to discuss about packing faculty lunches, I’ve unnoticed to discuss about one other predominant factor of our back-to-school mornings: breakfast.
I may or may now not do an official submit in a while about our go-to morning breakfasts, but for today, I’ll say that this model of apple and cinnamon baked oatmeal is a worth addition to the lineup.
I have a pair different overnight or baked oatmeal recipes that we make fairly typically but when my cousin-in-law, Julianne, emailed me about this Amish-style apple and cinnamon baked oatmeal, I suppose I tried it that minute (no, like really, that minute – at 3:53 within the afternoon or someday thereabouts).
We ended up consuming it that nighttime time for dinner with hard-boiled eggs and yogurt (per Julianne’s proposal for the reason that that they had loved it for dinner, too) and it was delicious, assuming breakfast-for-dinner is certainly one of your vibes.
Which it's for me and mine.

The dreamy facet is that now not in basic terms can this oatmeal be baked proper away, however it may wish to actually also be assembled, protected and refrigerated overnight to bake within the morning.
Even although it in basic terms takes minutes to prep, I’m by no means one to rise up any previous than I actually have to.
I’ve made this already as facet of our back-to-school routine.
Because the apple and cinnamon baked oatmeal wants 35-45 minutes to bake, I took one for the workforce and dragged myself out of bed a piece previous than the common wake-up call.
And I’m now not in search of more bonus points, not-really-ok-kind-of, but rather of rolling again into bed whereas the oven did its work, I even begrudgingly exercised whereas everybody else loved the final few minutes of valuable sleep.
I know.
Oatmeal miracles: bringing again workout exercises that one way or the other disappeared over summer.
Also, hold in thoughts you possibly can omit the apples for a normal baked oatmeal variation.
Whether or now not you devour it for breakfast, dinner or each time in between, it’s a few heavily delicious oatmeal – a piece crunchy on ideal and creamy and warm and hearty all throughout.

2-3 big tart, candy apples (like Honey Crisp or Gala), peeled, cored and diced
Instructions
Lightly grease a 8X12-inch or 9X13-inch baking pan or 9X9-inch (for tremendous thick oatmeal) with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. Preheat the oven to 325 ranges F (don't preheat the oven if making forward of time and refrigerating overnight).

Notes
I'm now not a nuts or raisins in my oatmeal variety of girl, but should you are, you possibly can upload one or equally to the dry meals previous than blending within the milk/egg mixture.
If you're making it forward of time and refrigerating overnight, a few of the apples may pop as much as the ideal and brown barely - it does now not have an effect on the taste.
For in basic terms a essential Amish-style baked oatmeal, you may wish to omit the apples. If baking in a smaller pan (like a 9X9-inch pan), you may in basic terms desire to make use of NULL apples rather of three. Pan dimension can actually be assorted with this recipe - smaller pans will consequence in a thicker oatmeal; simply hold an eye fixed on baking time.
