Ingredients
Method
Preheat & Whisk Dry Base
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch ceramic baking dish with butter or cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, fine sea salt, and 1/4 cup of the chopped pecans until evenly combined.
Whisk the Custard & Layer with Apples
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the oat milk, pure maple syrup, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth, pale, and slightly frothy.
- Scatter the diced Honeycrisp apples evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread the dry oat mixture evenly over the apples.
- Slowly pour the milk custard evenly over the entire dish, ensuring all dry oats are submerged and moistened. Tap the dish gently on the counter to eliminate air pockets.
Top & Bake to Golden Perfection
- Scatter the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped pecans and 1 tablespoon of turbinado sugar evenly across the top for a crackly caramelized crunch.
- Bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, until the center is set, the edges are bubbly golden-brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing into generous squares. Serve warm with an extra drizzle of pure maple syrup and a splash of cold cream or oat milk.
