Let’s make it.
Prepare the oven
Heat to 350°F / 175°C. Lightly grease a small baking dish, about 20 cm square.
Combine the ingredients
Mix oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Whisk milk, egg, syrup, and oil separately, then stir into the dry ingredients with the diced apple.
Bake
Pour into the dish and spread evenly. Bake 30–35 minutes, until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. An egg-containing dish should reach 160°F / 71°C.
Rest briefly
Let stand 5 minutes to firm slightly. Spoon into bowls. Refrigerate leftover portions promptly and reheat to 165°F / 74°C before serving hot.
A little kitchen wisdomRolled oats hold their texture better than instant oats in this simple breakfast bake. Cut the apple small so it softens with the oats.
Make it your own
Swap apple for firm pear; a softer fruit may release more moisture.
