Cinnamon flavored oatmeal with apples and a buttery, crunchy praline topping is a delicious fall or winter breakfast or brunch dish!

We are back this month with another 30 Day Recipe Challenge for the fall season and our main ingredient for September is the yummy, juicy Apple! For those of you who are new to our blog, in the 30 Day Recipe Challenge, I join with some amazing food bloggers and we create delicious recipes using a chosen main ingredient. We have a month to come up with the most mouth-watering and tasty recipe that would highlight said main ingredient.

Naturally,  I was very happy when my favorite fruit - the Apple, was chosen! Not only because it was appropriate for the season but because I have been wanting to share this recipe for Baked Oatmeal and Apples since summer! I made this for my Aunt from Australia who visited us last month. I was about to post it then though I had second thoughts because it was the middle of summer and certainly not Apple season. I am glad I waited a bit for the appropriate time and now it's perfect to share and make this yummy breakfast dish!

Hope you try and enjoy this and please make sure to check out the other recipes from our other blogger friends. You'll be all set for the entire fall season with these delicious Apple recipes!

Cinnamon flavored oatmeal with apples and a buttery, crunchy praline topping is a delicious fall or winter breakfast or brunch dish!

Ingredients

• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon ground Cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground Nutmeg
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 1/4 cup Honey, Agave or Maple Syrup
• 1/4 cup melted unsalted Butter or Coconut Oil
• 1 cup Applesauce
• 1 cup Milk
• 3 cups old-fashioned Oats
• 1-2 Apples, peeled and sliced thinly

For the Praline Topping


• 1/2 cup unsalted Butter
• 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
• 1/2 cup chopped Pecans

Instructions

1. Butter or grease an extra deep (10-inch) pie dish. Set aside. Gently beat the eggs with a whisk in a large bowl. Add the spices, vanilla extract, sweetener of choice, melted butter or oil, applesauce and milk and blend with the whisk. Stir in the oatmeal and mix everything well.
2. Transfer mixture to the prepared dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
3. The next day, take the dish out and allow to come to room temperature while the oven preheats to 375 F. In the meantime, prepare the praline topping and slice the apples.
4. To make the praline topping, melt the butter and brown sugar in low heat in a small saucepan. Mix in the chopped nuts. Evenly sprinkle the praline topping all over the oatmeal mixture. Place the sliced apples on top in a circular arrangement or however, you like it.
5. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the middle is firm and cooked through. Serve warm with extra milk on the side. Enjoy!
