Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 large apple, peeled, cored, and diced (Fuji or Honeycrisp work well)

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Additional apple slices and nuts for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking dish or a similarly sized oven-safe dish.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, diced apple, brown sugar, applesauce, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

      If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

        Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula.

          Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the top of the oatmeal mixture, creating swirls with a knife or spatula.

            Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the oatmeal is set.

              Let cool slightly before serving. Drizzle additional caramel sauce over individual servings if desired, and top with fresh apple slices and nuts for extra texture.

                Enjoy your warm, delicious Caramel Apple Oatmeal Bake either as a hearty breakfast or a delightful dessert!
