Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats
- 2 apples (chopped)
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 2 eggs
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients and Seasonings:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare a buttered baking vessel and heat the oven to ensure optimal temperature for a golden, fluffy oatmeal bake.
- Combine dry ingredients in a spacious mixing bowl, whisking the rolled oats with aromatic ground cinnamon, leavening agent, and a touch of sea salt to create a uniform base.
- In a separate container, thoroughly blend liquid components, incorporating farm-fresh eggs, creamy milk, rich vanilla extract, and deep amber brown sugar until smooth and fully integrated.
- Gently merge the liquid mixture with the dry ingredients, using delicate folding techniques to maintain a light texture.
- Incorporate crisp, diced orchard apples throughout the batter, distributing them evenly to ensure each serving contains delightful fruit fragments.
- Transfer the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it smoothly to create an even surface.
- Slide the dish into the preheated oven, allowing the oatmeal bake to transform into a golden-brown masterpiece with slightly crisp edges.
- Once baked to perfection, remove from the oven and let rest briefly to set the structure.
- Lavishly drizzle warm caramel sauce across the surface, creating an indulgent finishing touch that elevates the entire dish.
- Slice and serve while warm, allowing the caramel to cascade deliciously over each portion.
Notes
- Check oat freshness to ensure maximum flavor and texture in the final dish.
- Use firm, slightly tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best baking results.
- Swap dairy milk with almond or oat milk for a lactose-free version that maintains creamy consistency.
- Prep caramel sauce from scratch or use store-bought to elevate the dessert’s richness and appeal.
