Step-by-Step Cooking Walkthrough
  1. Prep and Preheat: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch or 2-quart ceramic baking dish with butter or coconut oil.
  2. Layer Oats and Apples: In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, sea salt, and half of the chopped pecans. Scatter half of the diced apples evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, then pour the oat mixture evenly over the fruit.
  3. Whisk the Maple Custard: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, milk, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract until completely smooth and fragrant.
  4. Pour, Top, and Bake: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the oats, gently tapping the dish on the counter so the liquid saturates every oat flake. Scatter the remaining diced apples and pecans over the top, then dust lightly with brown sugar and cinnamon. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35 to 40 minutes until golden brown, fragrant, and set in the center. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm!
