Using gluten free oats will make this recipe gluten free. Use a non-dairy milk to make it dairy free. I have not tried an egg replacement so that it could be vegan (if you do please let me know how it turns out)!
How to Make Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal
To start, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then, spray a muffin tin with non-stick spray. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the oats, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, baking powder, 1/4 cup brown sugar and salt. Stir to combine. Then, add the milk, egg, vanilla and applesauce and stir well. Set aside.
Next, make the apple topping! Peel and dice the apple and place in a small mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir to coat apples in cinnamon and sugar.
Divide oat mixture among 12 muffin cups. Top with apple mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until apples begin to become golden and oatmeal is set (should look dry on top). Let cool for a few minutes then serve.
