All About This Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal
Whenever I start to sense that fall is ever so slightly in the air, that means bring out all the apple and pumpkin flavors! Happily, this Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal is so easy to prepare, and it makes your whole house smell *amazing*! It is delicious served warm or cold, and it is a great way to prep breakfast for the week ahead.
What Is Baked Oatmeal?
Baked oatmeal is a breakfast casserole that is made from oats, milk, and various toppings or seasonings. When baked in the oven, the texture becomes similar to that of an oatmeal bar, so it feels like you are eating an oatmeal cookie for breakfast. YES PLEASE. Additionally, with the thicker texture, this Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal makes for a convenient “grab and go” breakfast when you want something filling to start your day and don’t have time to sit down to eat a bowl of oatmeal. It’s also a great midday snack!
The Key Flavors
The main flavors that are highlighted in this dish are apple (of course!), cinnamon, and nutmeg. It is sure to make you reminisce about everything you love about fall! In fact, it’s like eating a slice of apple pie for breakfast!
What You’ll Need
Equipment
- Two medium-sized bowls
- Spoon
- Whisk
- 8 x 8 baking dish
- Knife and/or spatula
Ingredients
- Old fashioned oats (I use Quaker brand)
- Brown sugar
- Salt
- Baking powder

- Unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- Unsweetened apple sauce
- Egg
- Vanilla extract
- Apples
- Cooking spray
How To Make Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray an 8×8 baking dish with cooking spray. In a bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, salt, baking powder, and apple pie spice. In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, apple sauce, egg, and vanilla extract. Next, add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir until combined. Then, fold the apples into the mixture until well combined. Finally, pour into the baking dish and bake for 45-50 minutes until it is golden brown and set in the middle. Let it cool for a few minutes and cut into six servings.
Storing And Freezing Instructions
If you are making this baked oatmeal for breakfast for the week ahead, simply pop the baking dish in the fridge for the week. Alternatively, if you prefer to freeze it, I would recommend freezing it in individual portions wrapped in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Then, night before you want to eat it, you can put your serving in the fridge to thaw overnight. In the morning, you can microwave it for about 40-50 seconds, or you can even pop it in the oven. SO GOOD.

well, now I know what I was missing with the whole baked oatmeal thing. This is a hug in a mug. So delicious, so tasty and so easy to make. I might have been guilty of serving it with some custard. Thank you for another delicious recipe Sara.

This is the perfect recipe for oatmeal! I love apple pie flavor anything.
I do too, especially in the colder months!
Oh my this recipe looks so good! This reminds me of all things fall and with the heat we are having in Northern California, I cannot wait for fall! Apple pie baked oatmeal for the win!
Exactly! I’m so happy you loved it, Genevieve!
I can’t use almond milk due to food allergies in the house. Almonds, oranges and bell peppers are verboten! What can I substitute?
Thank you so much for your question! You could replace the almond milk with regular milk or any other milk alternative you enjoy like cashew, coconut, rice, or hemp milk! You can use these in the same amount that the almond milk is listed in this recipe. Let me know how it turns out if you give it a try!
