Ingredients

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 180°C and lightly oil a 20 cm baking dish.

  2. 2

    Mix oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in the dish. Fold in three quarters of the apple.

  3. 3

    Whisk milk, egg, and maple syrup, then pour evenly over the oats. Press down once so the surface is moistened.

  4. 4

    Scatter the remaining apple and walnuts over the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the edges are set and the center no longer looks wet.

  5. 5

    Rest for 10 minutes before serving so the oats finish absorbing the liquid.

Cooking Tips

  • Cut the apple into small even pieces so it softens with the oats.
  • Cover leftovers before refrigerating and reheat individual portions until hot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I prepare baked apple oatmeal with walnut crumble ahead?

Prepare components in advance where practical, but use the final cooking and resting steps for the best texture. Cool perishable ingredients promptly and store them covered in the refrigerator.

How should I adjust the seasoning?

Cut the apple into small even pieces so it softens with the oats. Taste near the end and make small adjustments rather than adding a large amount at once.
