Get ready for fall with this healthy apple pie baked oatmeal! Made with rolled oats, diced apples, cinnamon, and maple syrup for sweetness, this baked oatmeal is perfect for those cooler mornings.

If I had to describe fall in one recipe, it would be this healthy apple pie baked oatmeal. There’s something about apple pie that just gets me in the fall mood. Maybe it’s because when I think apple pie, my mind immediately jumps to homemade apple pie with ice cream on Thanksgiving.

Apple pie was the first pie I ever made by myself. It was just your basic apple pie – store bought crusts, sugar, cinnamon, and apples. While my baking skills are a little more refined now, I still make an apple pie for my family on Thanksgiving every year.

For that reason, apple pie will always hold a special place in my heart. I was so excited to turn this favorite dessert of mine into a breakfast recipe. Because if you all know me at all by now, you know I’m all about those dessert-for-breakfast creations.

This apple pie baked oatmeal has the warm baked cinnamon apple goodness of your favorite apple pie, but in a better-for-you breakfast version. Made with rolled oats, pecans, and sweetened only with maple syrup, this recipe is filled with fiber and healthy fats to keep you full all morning!

Why I love baked oatmeal

I have no shortage of baked oatmeal recipes on my site because I absolutely love it. There’s nothing better than having a warm, healthy breakfast ready for you on a cool fall morning. Some of my favorite previous recipes are this healthy carrot cake baked oatmeal, my banana bread baked oatmeal, and these baked blueberry oatmeal cups (no cutting required!).

There are so many reasons to love baked oatmeal. Here are some of my top reasons!  

  • You probably already have everything on hand. The base of this recipe is oats, almond milk, maple syrup, and eggs. Fridge and pantry staples!
  • It comes together quickly and easily. Once you’ve mixed your wet and dry ingredients, simply pop the pan in the oven. No stirring required.
  • It’s customizable. Don’t have pecans? Sub your favorite nut. You could also leave the nuts out.
  • It stays in good in the fridge all week. That means a healthy, hearty breakfast hassle free in the mornings. Plus its family friendly! Just tell the kids they’re having apple pie for breakfast.

How to make apple pie baked oatmeal

Start by mixing your dry ingredients – oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder and salt – in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, almond milk, vanilla, and maple syrup.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Next, simply stir in the chopped apple and pecans.

Add the mixture to a greased 8×8 baking dish and press down lightly to ensure all oats are soaked. Top with extra pecans and apples if you wish!

Bake at 375F for 40-45 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to five days. Leftovers can also be wrapped in aluminum foil and stored in an airtight container in the freezer!

Serving apple pie baked oatmeal

I typically slice my baked oatmeal up once its cooled and store in individual portions. This way, I can just grab a square quickly in the morning and reheat.

I have found that the best way to reheat baked oatmeal is to pour a splash of almond (or your favorite) milk over the oatmeal before microwaving. or reheating in the oven. This prevents the oatmeal from drying out.

This apple pie baked oatmeal is great on its own, but feel free to spice things up a bit when serving. I love to top mine with a spoonful of Siggis yogurt, some peanut butter, and a little bit of maple syrup. This would also be great with some additional fruit and nuts for some crunch.

This baked oatmeal will stay good in the fridge for 5 days. Perfect for weekly meal prep! Leftovers can also be frozen.

    Hey Erin! I just made a double batch of this — do you think I could freeze one pan and defrost it, then cook?

    Cooking one pan tomorrow for a brunch event and wondering if I can save the other pan for postpartum 🙂

    I love this recipe!! My mother-in-law baked this for Christmas a couple years ago, and I’ve been referencing it ever since. I sub the two eggs for two tbsp flax seeds, and sometimes sub half of the apples for chopped carrots. Yum! Thanks for the recipe!! 🙂

    Substituted applesauce for the eggs, to make it egg-free. Also added a scoop of plain collagen powder to increase the protein content. Worked out great!

    i made this into a pie for Pi day.
    i added pie crust on top on the shape of Pi (I bought a special cookie cutter).
    It was a hit with my 3 kids. I added a little less maple syrup and a little more apples/spice than recipe called for.
    I used part unsweetened oat milk and part whole milk.
    thanks for the recipe!!!
    I’m excited to make up some variations. I wanted to add Chia seeds and flaxseeds but I was afraid that they would absorb way too much of the liquid.
