Baked Apple Oatmeal (gluten free, no added sugar, dairy free option)

Amid the morning rush, quietly baking away, could be a belly-warming breakfast filling your kitchen with the aroma of baked apples and cinnamon. The boys ask for Baked Apple Oatmeal often, and  since it is easy, I never tire of making it.

For four generous servings:

5-6 apples, peeled and chopped
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil

Preheat the oven to 375. Meanwhile, grease a lidded pyrex casserole dish with butter or coconut oil.

To the pyrex dish, add the chopped apples. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon, about a teaspoon, or less for a milder flavour. Sprinkle with the salt. Add the rolled oats and coconut. Hold the lid on the casserole dish and shake the ingredients together. Drizzle the melted butter or coconut oil over the top, then put the lid back on.

Bake for about 45 minutes with the lid on, and another ten with the lid off. Serve right away, with a touch of milk if you like.
