👨🍳 How to Make It (Step-by-step)
Step 1: Prep Your Baking Dish
Grease or line a medium-sized baking dish (20×20 cm or similar).
💡A parchment lining makes cleanup a breeze!
Step 2: Layer the Dry Base
Add rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking powder directly into the dish.
💡Mix the dry ingredients evenly to avoid clumps of spice.
Step 3: Pour in the Wet Mix
Add milk and vanilla essence, then stir well to combine.
💡Use warm milk to speed up the blending process and deepen flavour.
Step 4: Sweeten to Taste
Drizzle in honey or maple syrup—optional, but recommended for balance.
💡Taste the mix before baking; adjust sweetness if needed.
Step 5: Add the Apple Layer
Peel and slice your apple thinly, then lay the slices over the oat mixture.
💡Overlap the apple slices slightly—they’ll shrink as they bake.
Step 6: Sprinkle the Almonds
Add a generous layer of sliced almonds on top.
💡Press lightly so they toast but don’t burn.
Step 7: Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30–40 minutes until the top is golden and set.
💡Test the centre—it should be moist, not runny.
Step 8: Cool Slightly
Let it rest 5–10 minutes before cutting.
💡This helps the layers firm up for neater slices.
Step 9: Slice & Serve
Cut into squares or rectangles and serve warm or chilled.
💡Goes wonderfully with yogurt, nut butter or a dash of maple syrup.
Step 10: Store or Pack Up
Keep leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container.
💡Also freezer-friendly—just reheat in the oven or microwave.
