Notes
For a softer baked oatmeal, use finely chopped apples and serve it warm with a splash of milk. For more texture, leave the apple skins on and add chopped pecans or walnuts.
You can also replace some of the apples with diced pears for a slightly different fruit flavor. A little extra cinnamon sprinkled over the top before baking adds an inviting aroma and a beautiful finish.
