This isn’t your average stove top or instant oatmeal. This oatmeal is baked in the oven and sends the warming scent of apples and cinnamon throughout the house. The first time I made this I was amazed at how delicious it was. The egg and milk give the oatmeal a creamy delicate texture that is down right addictive. Baking this recipe on a brisk autumn morning is just about the best way to start any day.
