• servings: 12 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

3 cups old-fashioned oats

1/4 cup whole wheat flour

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 Tbsp. cinnamon

2 tsp. baking powder

pinch of salt

2 cups thinly sliced and chopped apple (about 2-3 medium apples)

1/4 cup melted butter

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup honey

2 large eggs

1 Tbsp. vanilla extract

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.

Prepare 9×13 inch pan with cooking spray or parchment paper.

Cut apples. Using a mandoline slicer, thinly slice apples. Then roughly chop the apples so you have very thin pieces that are about a 1/2-inch x 1/2-inch. (I usually cut apples in half and then use a mandoline slicer on the peel side first, carefully making my way to the apple core.

In a large bowl, mix together oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the cut apples.

In a medium bowl, melt butter. Add in milk, honey, eggs, and vanilla and whisk together until combined. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until combined.

Pour into the prepared baking dish and spread out in an even layer with the back of a spatula if needed. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown.

Let cool before cutting into squares.
