Ingredients

For the oatmeal:

½ cup apple sauce unsweetened
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup milk of choice
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Pinch of salt
1 apple peeled, cored, and finely diced

For the apple topping:

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 apple peeled, cored and finely diced
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon maple syrup
pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a small casserole dish (mine is equivalent to an 8×8 inch pan).
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Once melted, add in the diced apple as well as the cinnamon and nutmeg. Cook without stirring for 3 minutes. Stir and cook for 5 more minutes, stirring every minute or so. Remove from the heat.
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, 1 apple, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, pinch of nutmeg, 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Meanwhile, prepare the oatmeal. Directly in your prepared pan, add in the oatmeal ingredients and mix until fully combined. Gently spoon the sauteed apples on top of the oatmeal and do not mix.
1/2 cup apple sauce, 1 cup old fashioned oats, 1 cup milk of choice, 2 tablespoons chia seeds, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, Pinch of salt, 1 apple
Bake for 25 minutes until the oatmeal is set. Serve immediately with a drizzle of maple syrup and ENJOY!

Notes

Apples: honestly, whatever kind of apples you like will work in this recipe. Use granny smith for a more tart taste OR honeycrisp for a little sweeter (this is my preference).
