Apple Pie meets Baked Oatmeal!  A warm, comforting way to start the day, especially served warm topped with a dollop of vegan yogurt or coconut whip and paired with a hot cup of fresh-brewed coffee.  A nice change from your regular bowl of oatmeal. It’s so satisfying to eat a slice of baked oatmeal – hearty enough to be breakfast all on its own but is also a delightful afternoon snack and a perfect addition to any brunch spread.

I’m all about those dessert-for-breakfast creations these days. Have you checked out my Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal? AndCarrot Cake Baked Oatmeal! So delicious! The texture of the baked oatmeal is like moist oat bars witb all the flavor from the spices and texture from nuts and seeds!

The best thing about this recipe? The aroma of the vegan apple pie baked oatmeal wafting through your house as it bakes – it is absolutely heavenly!

This vegan apple pie baked oatmeal has the warm cinnamon-scented apple pie filling goodness of your favorite Thanksgiving dessert, but instead of a pie crust, it is served on wholesome baked oatmeal. The oatmeal bake is made with rolled oats, pecans, coconut and sweetened only with maple syrup. This vegan oatmeal bake recipe is filled with fiber to keep you full until lunch.

Ingredients for making Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal:

  • The base of the baked oatmeal is old-fashioned oats to which we add some chia seeds, pecans and coconut for crunch and texture.
  • We also mix in some baking powder for the perfect cakey texture.
  •  Apple pie spice or pumpkin pie spice up the cozy. You can use store-bought or make your own apple pie spice by mixing 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon with 3/4 teaspoons of nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon of allspice, and 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom.
  • Salt is an important ingredient for all oatmeal bakes and porridges. Don’t skip it!
  • Maple syrup adds some nutty sweetness to the oatmeal bake
  • Instead of eggs, we add some applesauce as a binding agent. Mashed/pureed fruit helps to give this baked oatmeal a muffin-like texture and some moisture. You can either use store-bought unsweetened apple sauce or make your own applesauce by pureeing cooked or canned apples.
  • Before baking, we soak the oats in some non-dairy milk – use coconut, almond or oat milk.
  • For the apple pie layer, we toss some apple chunks with cinnamon, brown sugar, and maple syrup. I also add in some more nuts.

Tips & Substitutions:

  • You can use sub the oats for other grain flakes such as quinoa flakes or rice flakes.
  • To double the recipe you can double everything, if it seems like there’s too much liquid just add a few more Tbsp of oats and bake in a slightly larger pan for up to 45 mins or until the apples are done to preference.
  • For this vegan baked oatmeal, use stoneware or a ceramic baking dish so that the edges don’t get brown and chewy.
  • You can add some raisins, chopped dates or cranberries to the oatmeal bake if you’re a fan.

    Just made this! It is very yummy and filling. I didn’t peel my apples; figured there’d be even more fiber with the skin on, and instead of the brown sugar in the topping I added just an 1/8 tsp. of pure monkfruit sweetener. I served it with a little almond milk poured on top. Will enjoy eating this for the next few days and looking forward to trying more of your baked oatmeal recipes as well.

    This looks amazing! I see the recipe calls for one apple but the photo with chopped apples appears to be more than 2. Could you please clarify?

    This was absolutely the best vegan dessert recipe I have tried in my five year vegan lifestyle and I’ve tried plenty. The no oil recipes are always too dry and the others that are moist are too high in calories. This was the best! Moist, sweet, tasty and healthy. My goodness just look at the recipe list. What is not to like for body, mind and soul. The only down side is I couldn’t stop eating it and my no vegan family loved it too.
    Thank you, thank you. Finally a dessert to love.

    Looks wonderful! Would I be able to use monkfruit “maple” syrup instead of regular maple syrup for lower sugar, but with the same results?

    I’ve been trying to find recipes to use all the chia seeds I bought, and I love oatmeal and apples.

    Slightly unrelated question. Instead of brown sugar, I used jaggery. I opened a brand new package of jaggery and it smelled sour. It tasted sweet, but smelled sour. Is this normal? Or did I get a bad batch? I used it because I can’t imagine sugar going bad.

    It’s in the oven right now, so I’ll update how it turned out.

      P.S. It’s delicious!!!! Definitely a repeater. Now I have to look up your banana bread baked oatmeal and the carrot cake baked oatmeal recipes.

      But I’m still curious what you think about the jaggery. I’m not Indian, so I’m not sure what it’s supposed to be smell like.

    I skipped the maple syrup and sugar and baked it with a lid so that the apples wouldn’t dry out without that moisture. It was excellent!
