This apple baked oatmeal is simple, but bursting with flavour. If you love warm apple crisp, you’ll love this. I’ve left the skin of the apple intact, as much of the nutrition is located in and directly under the skin. The skin softens and provides a welcome textural contrast against the crunchy walnuts and juicy raisins. Honeycrisp apples were used in this recipe but most varieties should work. Other fruit options include: bananas, blueberries, pears and blackberries. This recipe can easily be switched up with whatever fruit is in season.
