A little make-ahead breakfast goes a long way in setting you up for a week of success, and this apple pie baked oatmeal is just the thing you need on a cold fall or winter morning. Filled with rolled oats, cinnamon, pecan, fresh apple, and a touch of maple syrup, this baked oatmeal is a naturally sweetened and high-fiber breakfast that will keep you fueled and full until lunch.
Apple season, it’s just the best, isn’t it? There are literally thousands of different ways you can use apples, from savory to sweet dishes, breakfast to dinner, and snacks to desserts. Personally, I just love a good crunchy apple on its own as a simple snack, however, my second favorite way to eat them is in my morning oatmeal. The good news is, you don’t need to stand over a hot stove every morning, especially if you are short on time when you can make a batch of baked oatmeal for the whole week. Whip up this simple apple pie baked oatmeal on a Sunday afternoon and you’ll have a delicious quick and easy breakfast ready to go every morning of the week!

I am following the Alumni Meal Plan so I made this yesterday. My husband and I had it for breakfast this morning. When I asked him for a rating he said, ‘I’m no food critic but you could make this again.’ I consider that a stamp of approval and a 5 rating. I loved the fact it is an easy make ahead and super tasty. Another winner from Stephanie!
PS – I did leave out the cloves as we are not fans of that particular spice.

The whole family loves this recipe. It’s easy to make and makes a great breakfast for most of the week. I add cardamom instead of cloves.

I really loved this recipe. Filling, not too sweet and the texture is spot on! It’s also delicious hot or cold. I especially loved it served with a scoop of vanilla yogurt!
So happy you enjoyed it, and love the addition of vanilla yogurt – great way to add protein too!
Can these be made as muffins?
Definitely! They won’t have the same texture as traditional muffins, more so mini baked oatmeals, but you can certainly make this recipe in a muffin tin.
How would you suggest reheating the whole dish? Looking to make ahead of time for big family breakfast
You can reheat it in the microwave for a few minutes or cover it and bake it in the oven at 200°F oven for 10-15 minutes.
This is a delicious and simple recipe, especially in the fall when the apples are plentiful. I add a scoop of greek yogourt and a drizzle of maple syrup to serve and it lasts me for a 5 days. Thank you Stephanie!

So happy you liked it, thanks for sharing!
Would love to try this, it looks so yummy! ❤️ Can it be frozen?
Yes, absolutely! To freeze, bake and cool the oatmeal completely, then cover tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw to room temperature and then reheat in the oven or microwave to your liking.
Love the comments and looking to make this for a family get together…………can we use almond or other non-dairy milk?
Yes, you can use a non-dairy milk. Not a problem at all!
Help! I live in the netherlands and we use grams and ml to cook. If i look online what a cup is in ml en grams I get so many different outcomes. Could you tell me the right amounts perhaps? Thanks a lot
For sure, it would roughly be:
225 g rolled oats
65g pecans, roughly chopped
4g cinnamon
2g nutmeg
1g ground cloves
4g baking soda
1g sea salt
720g milk
4g vanilla extract
1 egg, whisked
45g cup maple syrup
30g coconut oil or butter, melted + more for greasing
2 McIntosh apples, cored and diced
Super thanks!
Love this recipe and I’m not generally an oatmeal fan! I used a different size dish though. 9×9 boiled over so I switched to a 8×11 deeper dish for 35 min and it came out great.

I’m so happy you like it, thank you so much for sharing!
This baked oatmeal is *chef’s kiss* delicious! Not too sweet, and perfect with the suggested dollop of yogurt! I added protein powder to amp up the protein content as I work out in the mornings, and wanted a bit of extra protein for recovery. I will be keeping this recipe in the rotation!
