This is a delicious new recipe, perfect for dessert or breakfast, with comforting flavours of Apple & Cinnamon in Baked Oats

This delicious recipe is so lovely and easy to whip up, a cost effective and tasty winter dish.

Using oats in your baking helps the ingredients go further and provides such a lovely texture to the end result. The final flavour of this is unlike a cake, it still has that lovely soft texture of a porridge or oatmeal but in a firmer consistency.

The method is lovely and simple, first combine the dry ingredients in a bowl, then add the wet ingredient, then combine them together.

Then prepare the apples by peeling, coring and dicing into small pieces. The topping is made by combining brown sugar and cinnamon together. Half of the brown sugar will coat the diced apples and the remaining is for the topping of the dish.

Finally add half of the oat batter to a prepared baking dish, spoon over the diced and coated apples, then the remainder of the oat batter. It is very soft and liquid at this stage, which is perfect.

Then sprinkle over the remaining batter. Bake until golden and firm to the touch, a skewer should come out clean at this stage. Remove and allow to stand for 10 minutes.

This is so lovely served with whipped cream, thick vanilla yoghurt or ice cream and a drizzle of caramel or toffee topping. The total cost of this for 8 servings comes to 93 cents per person! So I hope you enjoy this as something a little different.

I am often asked what the best apples are for baking, the proper answer is Granny Smith, Pacific Rose, Braeburn etc, any apple that is known for its crisp firm texture or a more tart apple. But my answer is any apple will do!

Unless you are specifically needing the texture to be a certain way please just use the apples you have on hand.
