Cinnamon-Apple Baked Oatmeal
"The classic pairing of apples and cinnamon meets oven-baked oatmeal for a simple, satisfying breakfast. [Photograph: Yvonne Ruperti] Oven-baking oatmeal is a great alternative to stovetop because it's hands-free. It's easy to add in as many extra flavorings (fruit, spices, nuts) as you want. Here, soft apples and cinnamon spice are natural additions to this easy fuss-free baked rendition. Why this recipe works: * Oven baking is a no-fuss, hands-off way to cook oatmeal. * Pre-baking the apples ensures that they're cooked through. * Granny Smith apples provide tart contrast to the sweet oatmeal...."
