Notes
Use a firm, crisp apple such as Honeycrisp, Gala, or Ambrosia for natural sweetness and texture.
For extra apple flavour, sprinkle additional cinnamon over the top before baking.
Add ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch and healthy fats (keep in mind this will increase the calories and fat per serving).
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Enjoy cold or reheat in the microwave for a quick breakfast.
