Instructions

1
Lightly grease Suvie pan. In a medium bowl, mix together oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, lightly beat together milk, applesauce, and egg until smooth. Mix dry ingredients into wet until fully incorporated and no longer lumpy. Pour into Suvie pan. Load into your Suvie.
2
Add apples to a different Suvie pan. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and apple cider. Whisk cinnamon, maple syrup, and vanilla extract into cornstarch mixture. Pour over apples, tossing to coat. Load pan into your Suvie.
3
Input settings, and cook now or schedule. Suvie Cook Settings: Bottom Zone: Slow Cook Low for 2 hours
4
Near end of cook, add cream to a small saucepan and gently warm over low heat stirring frequently with a spatula for 3-5 minutes, being careful to not let cream bubble.
5
After cook, remove oatmeal from Suvie. Broil apples 7-10 minutes, until thickened.
6
To serve, slice oatmeal into 6 pieces and divide between bowls. Evenly distribute apples over baked oatmeal. Pour cream over oatmeal and top with pecans.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Cut apples into uniform ¼-inch slices so they bake evenly and become tender without falling apart.
Use the apple cider and cornstarch slurry to create a glossy, thickened sauce around the apples—simmer it separately for 2–3 minutes before pouring over baked oats.
Don't skip the baking powder; it lightens the texture and prevents the oatmeal from becoming dense and gummy.
Serve warm with cold cream to contrast the warm spices and create a cohesive texture experience.

Substitutions

old-fashioned oats → rolled oats (results in softer, less structured texture)
milk → plant-based milk like oat or almond (no change to texture or structure)
pecans → walnuts or sliced almonds (similar crunch and nuttiness)
apple cider → apple juice or water with 1 tbsp honey (less complex flavor)

Storage & make-ahead

Store cooled baked oatmeal covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a 325°F oven or microwave with a splash of milk to restore moisture.

Common Questions

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. Bake the oatmeal, cool completely, and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a 325°F oven for 10–12 minutes, or microwave individual portions for 60–90 seconds with a splash of milk.

What apples work best for this recipe?

Use tart-sweet varieties like Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, or Granny Smith mixed with Fuji. Avoid mealy apples; you want them to hold their shape during baking.

Can I use rolled oats instead of old-fashioned oats?

Old-fashioned oats are preferred for their texture and ability to hold shape when baked. Rolled oats will result in a softer, more porridge-like consistency.

What can I substitute for applesauce?

Use mashed banana or pumpkin puree in equal amounts. Both add moisture and natural sweetness, though the flavor profile will shift slightly.

Can I use quick oats or steel-cut oats?

Quick oats will make the texture mushy; steel-cut oats won't soften properly in the baking time. Stick with old-fashioned rolled oats for best results.
