Apple Walnut Baked Oatmeal

This is perfect for a crisp fall morning. You’ll need to make this since it took three batches to get it right. First batch, I tried to make vegan and the coconut oil over powered all other flavors so butter it is. The second batch, I tried with no refined sugar and it was way too bland. Oatmeal just needs brown sugar to shine. Third batch is the winner!

Preheat oven to 325 and spray baking dish with non stick spray.
