Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

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

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey)

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Fresh apple slices for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.

    Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well combined.

      Prepare the wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.

        Combine ingredients: Add the diced apples to the oat mixture, followed by the wet ingredients. Mix everything until the oats are evenly coated and the apples are well distributed. If using, fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins or cranberries.

          Transfer to the baking dish: Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. If desired, arrange fresh apple slices on top for added visual appeal and flavor.

            Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set. You can check doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

              Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

                Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy it warm. This dish can be served on its own or topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of additional maple syrup.
