How to Make Brown Butter Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal

Follow the instructions below to make the best brown butter apple pie baked oatmeal!

Make the Brown Butter

Add butter to a small saucepan on the stove and heat the butter on medium-low heat until it smells nutty and starts to turn brown. Set the butter aside to cool for about 15 minutes.

Make the Glazed Apples

Slice an apple into thin slices and add to a pan on the stove at medium heat. Add all the ingredients for glazed apples to the pan. Cook the apples until soft. Remove from heat and set aside about 10-1 5 minutes.

Prepare & Bake the Baked Oatmeal

During the last few minutes of the apple and brown butter cool time, preheat the oven to 350℉. Spray your 9×9 dish with baking spray.
In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients for the baked oatmeal together until they are incorporated. Pour the mixture into your greased baking dish.

Drizzle with Glaze

Layer apple slices on top of the baked oatmeal. Drizzle the oatmeal with any remaining glaze from the apples. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the center is set.
Let the baked oatmeal completely cool. When the oatmeal is at room temperature, whisk powdered sugar and milk together to make a glaze. Drizzle the glaze on top of the cooled baked oatmeal. If you are eating the baked oatmeal right after it bakes, mix the glaze together and drizzle on hot slices of the baked oatmeal.

Is Baked Oatmeal A Good Brunch Recipe

Yes! Brown Butter Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal is a FANTASTIC brunch dish! It is drop-dead gorgeous, and no one will ever know that it’s a snap to put together!

That’s all the makings of the perfect brunch recipe!

If you are planning to make this ahead of time (go you!), then make sure to reheat the slices (or warm the whole casserole) before serving. I like to reheat my baked oatmeal (slice) in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds. While you can eat your baked oatmeal slice cold, warm apple pie baked oatmeal is OUT of this world!

Yes, please!!!!

What is Amish-Style Baked Oatmeal

I like to compare Amish-style or Pennsylavian Dutch Style recipes to Southern comfort food. Amish or PA Dutch food is akin to the comfort-food dishes of the South, but for us Northerners! Amish-style baked oatmeal is a casserole-like breakfast dish. It is denser and a little more “cake” like than traditional baked oatmeal. This is definitely more of a comfort food.

Like the majority of my baked oatmeal recipes, this brown butter apple pie baked oatmeal starts off with my family’s Amish-Style baked oatmeal base. Although I slightly adjust each baked oatmeal recipe to fit the particular flavor profile of the baked oatmeal combination, the base still remains dense and comforting.

Just like any solid PA Dutch recipe, baked oatmeal is hearty and feels like you’re eating a warm hug.

Amish-style baked oatmeal is one of the MOST comforting breakfast dishes known to man. And it makes my little Pennsylvanian Dutch heart warm every time I eat it… which in our house is weekly. If you have never tried Amish-style baked oatmeal, you are missing out.

How To Store Brown Butter Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal

While you can let baked oatmeal sit on the countertop, as a rule of thumb I suggest adding any baked oatmeal with fruit on it to your fridge.

Storing your baked oatmeal in the fridge will also help to extend the life of your baked oatmeal. After preparing your baked oatmeal, it will last stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.

More Baked Oatmeal Recipes

My Pennsylvanian Dutch heritage heavily influenced my ~~love of~~ obsession with baked oatmeal from a very early age. We eat baked oatmeal (in some format) almost every week in our household. If you are looking for a scrumptious and well-tested baked oatmeal recipe, then look no further!
