Brunch menus meet your newest addition: a hearty, healthy, easy to make, baked oatmeal.
By Lauren Hardy
The best part? The bottom of this dish is lined with Pink Lady apple slices. After baking in the oven for more than 30 minutes, the apples turn soft, delectable and even sweeter than usual– quite the surprise for brunch guests who might not expect fruit to line the bottom of this hot meal.
I haven’t been able to cook much for others this summer, what with me living in a new place and adjusting to a new kitchen and lifestyle. So when I had the chance to make this for a friend, I was beyond joyful to be able to share and try out this new recipe on them. Sure it’s summer, but who says we can’t have hot dishes for breakfast in July. (This is coming from a woman who is always cold, but, c’est la vie.)
