This easy Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal recipe creates a warm and comforting breakfast that takes about 15 minutes to prepare and serves 2 people.

Ingredients Needed:

• 1 tbsp salted butter
• 1 Honeycrisp apple (cored and cut into 1/2-inch cubes, about 2 cups)
• 3 tbsp light brown sugar (divided)
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon (plus more for sprinkling)
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• Pinch kosher salt
• 1/4 cup warm heavy cream or milk (for serving)
• 2 tbsp chopped toasted walnuts (optional)

How To Make Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal:

1. Cook the apples: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced apple, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir frequently and cook until the apples are soft and fragrant about 2-3 minutes. Remove a quarter of the apples for topping.
2. Add the oats: In the same saucepan with the remaining apples, add the oats, salt, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Pour in 2 cups of water and bring it to a simmer.
3. Cook the oats: Stir the oats occasionally while they cook, allowing them to soften, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
4. Serve: Divide the oatmeal into two bowls, then top with the reserved apples, a drizzle of warm heavy cream, and sprinkle with extra brown sugar, cinnamon, and walnuts if desired.

Recipe Tips

• Choose the right apples: Use firm apples like Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor in your baked oatmeal.
• Don’t overcook the apples: Cook the apples just until soft, not mushy, to keep a good bite in your oatmeal.
• Stir the oats occasionally: Stir the oats while cooking to prevent them from sticking to the pot and to cook them evenly.
• Use warm cream or milk: Pouring warm cream or milk over the oatmeal enhances the creamy texture and flavor.
• Add toppings just before serving: Sprinkle nuts, sugar, or cinnamon right before eating to keep the toppings fresh and crunchy.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers

Storing at Room Temperature: Leftover oatmeal can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 1 day.

Storing in the Fridge: For longer storage, keep the oatmeal in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

Reheating: Reheat leftovers in the microwave for about 1 minute, adding a splash of milk or cream to refresh the texture.
