Baked Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal; apples are mixed with cinnamon, nutmeg, oatmeal and raisins and baked in the oven. Serve topped with brown sugar and milk!
Living in Michigan means that when Fall hits, we get to hit the cider mills.
It never dawned on me that a lot of other states aren’t fortunate enough to experience apple picking, snacking on piping-hot cinnamon-sugar doughnuts while watching apples being pressed for apple cider. How unbelievably sad!
Besides the traditional apple pies, crisps, crumbles and scones… oatmeal is my next favorite comfort food to bake apples in. So, are you an instant oatmeal fan? Or are you the soak your oats over night kind? With so many different ways for one to make oatmeal, I’m starting to think baked is the best! It comes out of the oven all light and fluffy and the apples are perfectly baked! Not to mention your home fills up with the smell of apples and cinnamon! *siiigh*!
This recipe is crazy easy to prepare, just combine, bake and breakfast will be served in 30 minutes or less!
To Make This Baked Apple Oatmeal You Will Need:
- old fashioned rolled oats
- unsweetened applesauce
- golden raisins
- dark brown sugar
- egg
- pure vanilla extract
- cinnamon
- freshly grated nutmeg
- kosher salt
- apple (like cortland, cosmic crisp, jonathan or rome)
- whole milk
- melted butter
Preheat your oven to 350° and lightly grease a oven-safe baking dish. (I sprayed mine with ghee oil spray)
In a large mixing bowl, measure and add 1-1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats, 1/2 cup applesauce, 1/4 cup golden raisins, 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon fine salt.
Next, pour in 1-1/2 cups milk.
Add in 2 cups finely diced apples.
Stir and pour in 1 tablespoon melted butter.
Transfer this mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Bake on the middle rack of your preheated oven to bake for 25-30 minutes.
Remove and let cool 5 minutes or so.
Serve it up! I like mine with a little extra brown sugar and a drizzle of milk.
I shared this with my two daughters while my husband was hunting. So if I was making this for four adults I would double it for sure! But my girls and I shared this leaving a little bit left over for me to save.
It’s gooood.
Make it. Eat it. Love it.

THANK YOU in advance for your support!
This sounds delicious, and I love the simplicity! Do you think it's something that might keep in the fridge and could be re-heated, maybe with a little more milk? This sounds like it could be a fantastic week-day breakfast.
Absolutely! I saved a small bowlful and reheated it for breakfast! A little extra milk will definitely help! 🙂
this makes oatmeal look so good! i've never loved it, but i'm thinking it deserves another chance 😉
I have never heard about baked oatmeal for breakfast..But this sounds super good and yummy…This is a perfect way to start a day…Good job laurie..
Do you think regular instant oats work for this..
I have been wanting to make baked oatmeal like this forever… I think we need to do this for breakfast in my house asap!
I. LOVE. THIS.
Baked oatmeal is divine! Mmmm….
Aarthi~ I'm not sure… I rarely use instant oatmeal. But give it a go and let me know the results! 🙂
So simple and yet so cozy!!!
oatmeal s not my fav but your photos make it sooo good..
Yum. I love oatmeal, especially baked oatmeal. This looks perfect for a fall morning.
Do you think skim milk would work?
This looks so delicious and gives off such a "home cooked" vibe. I love it!
Thanks Laurie..Will surely try that and let u know..
What a wonderful fall breakfast! The weather here is getting much colder and we expect snow soon. I would love to whip this up and enjoy it in the morning. It couldn't be easier!
Jami~ I bet it would!
OH this looks SO amazing! I will have to try this
awesome Laurie!! I'm making this fir breakfast tomorrow! I totally agree too! I cant imagine life without apple picking season!
i know this is breakfast… but i want it for dinner!
As a fellow Michigander (or are we Michiganians?) I could kick myself for not going to one of our cider mills yet. That being said I will not be kicking myself for not trying this recipe. I'm not a big oatmeal fan but this looks to good to be true!!
I'm so jealous since I live in Texas. But I can make this oatmeal. I can't believe I've never had baked oatmeal, but apple/cinnamon oatmeal is our favorite. I can't wait to make this…probably on Thanksgiving morning. I'm so excited. Thanks!
This looks to die for!! I am seriously thinking about making this tonight so I can have it tomorrow!
Apple cinnamon oatmeal is one of my cold weather breakfast staples. But I've never baked it. I am going to do so tomorrow, thanks for sharing this gorgeous recipe. Now I also want to go to Michigan for some doughnuts and cider 🙂
I've always stuck with the instant stuff just because I figure I can't screw it up…or at least the worst screw up is blowing it up all over the microwave. This somehow seems so much safer – and yummier, since you actually know what's going into it! And your'e right, gorgeous and fluffy.
with melted butter, have to try to make it:)
follow me if you like me 🙂

Oh man, fruit and oatmeal. One of my favorite breakfasts!
I've never tried it baked like that, but you can bet I will be soon.
Pinned so I can remember it easier! And because it's an awesome photo!
I love oatmeal. Can't wait to give this a try. Thanks for the recipe!
Hi Laurie,
This oatmeal was killing me, my toast this morning just isn't cutting it. That top photo is just so darn cute, but your snaps are always amazing. You must have the best light at your house. Hope you are having a great week.

Thanks Gina! You are so kind!! I am extremely lucky to have these huge windows on the front of my home which let a lot of light in! Have a great week yourself! 🙂
Great way to start the day!
Hearty and delicious – – sounds perfect for snowy cold lazy morning!!
That looks great. My kids love oatmeal with apples and cinnamon. It's the perfect comfort food for winter.
This season I wanted to experience apple picking but then I left for a long vacation 🙂
This would be a great healthy breakfast,
This looks sooo good!
Ive been learning to love oatmeal this year (well, all breakfast things really). I can do it in small doses. I love the idea of baking it though and am daydreaming over the texture.
Yumm! How brilliant. I'm having this for breakfast in the morning.
I love this recipe! Your bog is amazing! 🙂 congrats from Brazil!
This is so great, I've been eating it every weekend since you posted it!
This sounds awesome! I love making baked oatmeal, and usually do banana/blueberry, but love your recipe! I'll pin it so I can make it next time! Thanks for sharing!
Yum, this is in the oven right now and smells delish! I've made it twice before and it's the perfect fruity & filling rainy-day breakfast. Walnuts are a tasty addition too. Thanks Laurie!
Hi Laurie! I just thought I ‘d let you know this tastes amazing! I’m eating it right as we speak and it tastes like fall in a bowl 🙂 Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe and have a relaxing weekend.

I made this today and it was amazing. I did tweak it a bit to suit my tastes ( more cinnamon and brown sugar, added clove, ginger and walnuts and subbed cranberry for the raisin) but it tasted just like apple crisp. I think this is my new go-to breakfast for the next few months.
Just put this in the oven! Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
I made something similar to this in my slow cooker recently and loved it!! The perfect way to start a cold morning.
Ooooh I’m going to have to try that!
Just wanted to say thanks for the recipe! I made it for my Sunday school class today and people really liked it!

I made this tonight to try out as a likely breakfast option. OMG! Delicious! My husband and kids loved it. And hubby does not like oatmeal. How does it reheat if you have leftovers?
I would either nuke it or reheat it slowly in a pot with a splash of of milk or three 🙂
