Baked Apple Oatmeal
Baked apple oatmeal is loaded with goodness- oats, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, raisins, warming spices, and of course apples, all baked together with a creamy custard. This is a perfect way to start off your days in fall, and is especially nice to make on chilly mornings. I love to make baked apple oatmeal for meal-prepped breakfasts- make on a Sunday and then portion into breakfasts for the week.
