Cinnamon-Apple Baked Oatmeal

Ingredients

• 1 pound Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
• 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
• 1/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons light brown sugar, divided, plus more for serving
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 large egg
• 1 3/4 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for greasing dish

Directions

1. Set a rack in the middle of the oven and heat it to 350°F. Butter a shallow 2-quart baking dish lightly, then spread the apples in the dish and cover it with foil. Bake until the apples have started to soften, about 20 minutes.
2. Take off the foil and give the apples about 10 minutes to cool a bit. Add the oats and walnuts to the baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, egg, milk, and melted butter until everything is combined, then pour the mixture into the dish.
3. With a spoon, gently nudge and stir the oats into the milk mixture so they’re moistened and the apples are evenly spread through the dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar over the top, then bake until the center is just set, about 30 minutes. Serve right away, with more brown sugar to pass at the table.
