I love Fall. It’s my favorite season. Fall to me means walking in cool, crisp air while leaves crunch under your feet. It means orange and yellow and red in the trees and the beginning of comfort food season. It means football and blue jeans and apple picking and pumpkin carving. It’s also the season of two of my favorite flavors: apple and pumpkin. Expect to see lots of recipes using one or the other (or both!) over the next couple months.
Since I went apple picking last weekend, I have a ton of apples ready to go for recipes. I thought it would be fun to also incorporate the applesauce I made earlier this week into something new. Then I also realized that Fall makes me crave warm, hearty breakfasts and that these Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal Singles were the perfect fit. If you’ve been following my blog for a while you probably already know I love baked oatmeal. It’s kind of like having healthy cake for breakfast, and who doesn’t want that? You can easily make this in a baking dish if you prefer but I love the grab and go convenience of making it in muffin tins. The apples and cinnamon give these oatmeal singles a super comforting, tasty Fall flavor (kind of like individual apple cinnamon oat cakes). You can eat them cold, room temperature or reheated for a few seconds in the microwave – the choice is yours! This is a Fall breakfast pretty much everyone can get behind.
