Maple Apple Baked Oatmeal image

I've tried a number of different types of fruit for this recipe, but apple seems to be my family's favorite. I mix the dry and wet ingredients in separate bowls the night before and combine them the next morning when it's time to make breakfast.-Megan Brooks, Saint Lazare, Quebec.
