01Prepare a shallow baking dishHeat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter the baking dish. Keep the apple pieces small, about ¼ inch (6 mm), so they soften as the oats bake.
02Combine the wet and dry ingredientsWhisk milk, eggs, maple syrup, melted butter, applesauce and vanilla in a large bowl. Stir in oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt, then fold in the diced apple.
03Bake until softly setPour into the dish and spread evenly. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is set rather than liquid; check that the center reaches 165°F (74°C). If the top colors early, cover loosely with foil. This should stay softer than a bar.
04Give it a short restLet stand for 5 minutes, then spoon or cut into six portions. The oatmeal firms as it rests.

A few useful notes

Use rolled oats, not steel-cut oats. The liquid ratio and baking time are built around rolled oats.

The milk-and-egg base follows the referenced baked-oatmeal method, with finely diced apple as the fruit. This version omits nuts and raisins.

Metric cup and spoon amounts are rounded volumes, not gram weights. Can sizes refer to unopened contents; drain and rinse where directed.
