apple crisp baked oatmeal

taking all the flavors of apple pie and apple crisp (including the streusel!) and bringing them to your morning baked oatmeal!

It occurred to me the other day that I haven’t made a single apple pie or crisp this summer which had to be rectified immediately!

But rather than making a regular old apple pie or apple crisp, I decided to transform those classics into a baked oatmeal.

And oh goodness am I glad that I did. This dish is full of apple pie and crisp flavor (which incidentally makes me even more excited for Fall – though it can totally fly as a summer dish because apple pie and summer go hand in hand).

You can omit the streusel topping if you want – you’ll still get plenty of apple flavor but to be honest, the streusel topping totally makes the dish so I highly recommend including it 🙂

I also recommend serving with a big scoop of vanilla yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Like most of my dishes, you can make this ahead on the weekend and eat it all week for easy breakfasts (or snacks…or desserts with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!).

It’s pretty hard to go wrong with this dish though, so whatever you do, I promise you’ll love it.
