Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups almond milk (or milk of choice)

1/2 cup maple syrup (or honey)

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

2 large eggs

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (about 2 cups)

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

1 tablespoon butter (or coconut oil) for greasing the pan

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or coconut oil.

    Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

      Mix the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, applesauce, and eggs until well combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring until fully combined. The mixture should be thick but pourable.

          Add Apples and Nuts: Gently fold in the diced apples, walnuts or pecans (if using), and raisins or dried cranberries (if using) until evenly distributed.

            Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

              Cool and Slice: Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Slice into squares and serve warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

                Serving Suggestions: Enjoy your Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal Squares on their own or topped with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of yogurt, or a scoop of ice cream for a delightful dessert!
