Baked Apple Oatmeal

This was fabulous. Great flavor. I didn't have wheat germ and didn't miss it. The nuts were the best touch. Thanks!

This was really good for a nutritious breakfast. I love anything that incorporates wheat germ so I had to try this. I added more spices - additional cinnamon, nutmeg and a bit of cloves.

Yummy!! I thught this was great. It had a wonderful apple cinnamon flavor and the house smelled great while it was baking. I did use pecans instead of walnuts because I had them on hand. I also cut back on the sugar a bit. My hubby had his with milk poured over the top. I will make this again. My whole family enjoyed it. Thanks for the healthy breakfast!

this was delicious! i can't stand when people change the recipe and then rate something, but i did have to change from regular milk to soy milk, and it was unbelievable! i will be making this again!

Nice and flavorful. I "changed" the recipe amount to serve 4 and placed the oatmeal in ramekins. Unfortunately, this oatmeal was a little dry compared to a lot of baked oatmeal recipes I've had before, so maybe I'll add more milk than the recipe called for. Otherwise, it was the right sweetness and flavor. Addition: For a creamier and slightly sweeter taste, substitute the milk with soy milk and increase by at least a half a cup. e.g. in a recipe serving six, increase the milk from 4 to 4 1/2 cups.

Yum! This is not aesthetically pleasing at all (it looks like brown glop), but it sure tastes good. I omitted the raisins and ground up the walnuts in a food processor. I like making this because it gives me enough for breakfast all week--I just microwave a bowl of it each morning. I think I'll try decreasing the sugar a bit next time to make it a little healthier.

I've tried many of the baked oatmeal recipes on this site and others since I run a bed and breakfast. This is by far the best one I have made, and the recipe was requested by guests. I used almond milk to keep the cholesterol level down and I didn't have wheat germ so I simply used extra oatmeal (I used the old fashioned kind and let it sit for an hour before baking). This will be my "go-to" baked oatmeal recipe from now on. Thanks for the great posting!

This recipe was VERY good. My kids love it. Straight out of the oven, it is very reminiscent of bread pudding. I emailed the recipe to a bunch of friends because nutritionally is has so many good ingredients. If you have leftovers, reheat in the microwave with additional milk, as leftovers are otherwise a little dry. I added extra apples I was trying to use up, and more cinnamon than was called for. I'll probably do that again.

I made this exactly as written and it was not very good. It had a very bizarre taste to it that I just couldn't put my finger on. It might be the wheat germ as others suggested but I am not 100% sure. :(

Great recipe even though I changed it because the original recipe's nutritional info. is.... per serving- 40 grams sugar/557 calories/20 grams protein/9 grams fiber I had to reduce the sugar by changing some ingredients

I felt that the recipe had an odd taste to it. I eat oatmeal very often and I include most of the ingredients listed in the recipe, but it came out tasting funny to me. I think if I were to make this again I would cut down the amount of wheat germ. I felt that that was taking over the taste of the oatmeal.

My husband and I love oatmeal, so when my husband said this morning, "This is the best oatmeal I've ever had"...I knew I scored big with this one. I didn't have wheat germ, but definitely didn't miss it (others said it left an odd taste). Didn't have walnuts, so I used chopped pecans instead, yum! Also didn't have raisins, but again, didn't really miss it. I used 3 apples, which equaled to about 3 cups - other people said more apples is better, so thought I was good. Word of advice - use a bigger baking dish if you do this. It was filled to the brim, so boiled over a bit in the oven. I have a nice cleanup now to look forward to =). Other than that lil mistake, this dish was absolutely delicious, and now we have breakfast for a few days!

Really enjoyed this - didn't use wheat germ or raisins (didn't have the former, don't like the latter) and it was wonderful, warming, healthy, and hearty. It was also great after a microwave heat the next couple mornings - I was wondering if it would be as good when it wasn't fresh out of the oven, but it did fine. Am making this again tonight!

Don't underestimate this dish, it is 5 stars!! I made the 3 serving version in a pie plate. I left out the wheat germ. It baked for 45 mins and had a delicious brown bottom crust. The 2 of us had enough for seconds. Highly recommend.

Like bread pudding for breakfast! This is a great basic recipe that can be easily modified with other fruit, nut and spice combinations... - Instead of apples, try peaches, bananas or pears. - Try swapping the raisins for dried cranberries - which have a pretty color and a nice tartness. - Use whatever nuts you like, and try adding 1/4 tsp. nutmeg. I agree with the other reviewers that MORE fruit is better, so I use closer to 3 cups of chopped fruit. If you don't like wheat germ (or you've never had it), just swap it for an extra 1/2 cup of oats and you'll never miss it!

I only used apples, and I mixed the first ingredients & heated in microwave before adding the rest. My kids also enjoyed milk poured over the top like another member suggested.

Perfect consistency and not too sweet. So delicious! Will defiantly make this again!

I halved the recipe and baked it for 30 min. It didn't look very appetizing, so I probably wouldn't serve it to company. The flavor was good, but the dish was on the dry side. I served it in bowls with milk poured over it (like cereal). It was pretty good that way. I would probably make this again, but maybe not cook it as long or add more milk.

This is a great basic recipe you can modify easily - I often only measure the milk and oats. I also normally cut back on the sugar, forget to add the nuts and raisins and add equal amounts of wheat germ and wheat or oat bran. Adding bran makes the taste more mild. That might help those who were having trouble with an "off" flavor - wheat germ has a very strong flavor. I've also had success adding peaches instead of apples. And it does look quite unglamorous when it is ready to eat, but it tastes glorious! Enjoy!

I made this with craisins and raspberries and omitted the nuts. My kids loved it!

I loved that this was super super filling. I didn't even have a full serving and I was still not super hungry at lunch time. I didn't love the tast though. It was okay, but not great- just not as flavorful as I would have liked. But, wow- I still not cannot believe how filling it was. I will reheat some tomorrow and maybe sprinkle with a bit of sugar. It just didn't seem to have as much flavor as I would have liked. Between the okay, but not great taste, and how filling it was, I went with 4 stars (although 3 1/2 is probably more accurate).

This was very easy to make and it tasted delicious. My husband said it was a "keeper" and I really enjoyed it too. I love that I can reheat it and have again any time of the day.

I upped the butter to two tablespoons, used a teaspoon of apple pie spice instead of just cinnamon and pecans instead of walnuts because we don't care for walnuts. To make a creamier baked oatmeal, I used fat free evaporated milk for half the milk called for in this recipe. We all loved this--I was expecting for the kid to turn up their noses at it but everyone just thought it was great! I think next time I'd sprinkle the nuts on top because I like a crunchier nut in my oatmeal and I might cut back on the sugar just a bit but that's really just a personal choice. I think this would be good with maple syrup or honey in place of the sugar, too. GREAT way to use up the surplus of oatmeal I have in my cupboard. I'll make this again!

This was a great recipe! My kids loved it as well! I did leave out the wheat germ because I didn't have any and I didnt use nuts because I have little ones. This is definitely a keeper in my book!

Delicious! I omitted the walnuts simply due to family preference. I made it last night to reheat for breakfast this morning and it turned out fantastic. It had kind of a bread pudding consistency, which was a nice twist on regular oatmeal. A splash of skim milk over it made it a great and filling breakfast that I can't wait to eat more of!

Excellent. Made it today for playgroup and loved by all. I omitted the walnuts.

This was such a yummy recipe! Thank you! I have since changed this up a little. I substitute 2 cups of water for 2 cups of milk, cut the brown sugar back to 1/4 cup, increase cinnamon to 1 T., omitted the raisins and walnuts and added 4 T. flaxseed. The calorie count for my adjustments are 231.2. I've also substituted canned pears instead of apples when I'm in a hurry.

AMAZING!!!! I made a single serving, used less sugar and added a tsp of praline sugar free maple syrup baked and it came out delicious!

This is a keeper breakfast recipe if you like the nutty flavor of bran and the sweetness of the brown sugar! Delish!

I thought this was fantastic! I love thick hearty oatmeal and was pleased to find this recipe that I could bake in the oven. I used golden raisins and my wheat germ was "honey-nut" flavored. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly. This makes a big batch so I found myself nibbling on it throughout the day. Great recipe, I will make this again!

it's great, especially when you serve it with a topping of applesauce!!

Wow, I really thought I was going to love this. I didn't really care for it though. I love oatmeal in most any form so I don't know what happened. The texture was kind of wierd. The flavor was good, and it is very filling, and healthy. It makes a ton too- I should have cut it in half. I'd say it makes more than 6 servings. I might try the leftovers tomorrow and see how they are.

This was wonderful! I didnt have wheat germ so I used about 3/4 cup oat bran instead and added about a cup of apple juice. I also cut the brown sugar in half and was satisfied with the sweetness. Great having breakfast cooked for the entire week!!

I just tried this for breakfast and it was good! :) I added a little extra milk and it was still thick, but I love thick oatmeal!

This is a very good and easy recipe. I used old fashioned oatmeal and added some allspice and vanilla. Everyone enjoyed it here.

A really good oatmeal. Will definitely make again. I only used a half cup of wheat germ and added an addition half cup of oats. I also substituted applesauce for the butter. I would rate this 4 1/2 stars. Thanks!

Soooo good! Never had oatmeal in this form. Delightful.

My family enjoyed this. It took a while to cook (45 minutes) but was worth it. Good way to add wheat germ / high fiber foods to the diet. I used 1/2 cup of raisins.

I made this for breakfast this morning. We all loved it and my 4 year old told me this was the best oatmeal EVER! I didn't use wheat germ only because I didn't have it and it still turned great, though I would have liked to try it.

I thought this was OK; it was not as flavourful as the "baked oatmeal" recipe my mother used to make from a Taste of Home or Country Woman magazine. I thought it was a tad dry, and would probably add more spice next time. Other reviewers do seem to like it though.

Fantastic! I've been looking for a great baked oatmeal recipe for quite a while and my search has ended with this one. The apples and walnuts add great flavor and texture to the oatmeal.

Really good! I made it for my kids and they loved it. I tried it even though I don't like traditional oatmeal, it was fantastic! I added pecans as well.

DELICIOUS. Very easy to make. I used soymilk in place of the milk. I cut down on the butter. I used more apple,no walnuts so used chopped pecans. I sprinkled cinnamin and nutmeg on top. Tastes like a warm cookie. I will use honey next time.

Great, hearty, and so good for you! I omitted the nuts as BF has an allergy to them, but otherwise followed the recipe. (I added the nuts to my own bowl after cooking, would've been better baked with the cereal, but still very good.) The wheat bran gives it an unusual, but not unpleasant texture. I feel positively righteous eating this! Thank you for a great submission, and one I'll be making again in these winter months.

I was apprehensive at first because I've only used the instant apple oatmeal in the past, but I tasted it even before I baked it. Delicious! Thank you for a wonderful recipe

Perfectly sweeted and delicious! I wanted to make this without running to the store, and I didn't have raisins. But I didn't miss them. It was great!
