- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 medium Apples (diced)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Fold in the diced apples and optional chopped walnuts or pecans, if using.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the oatmeal is golden on top and set in the center.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, topped with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of yogurt, or extra chopped nuts, as desired.
