1cupalmond milkunsweetened, or cashew milk or skim
1.5cupsold fashioned oats
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375F.
Peel, core, and dice the apples (required yield: 2 cups).
Pour the diced apples into the small sauce pan, and turn the heat on to medium.
Add the cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, vanilla extract, corn starch, salt, water, and 1 teaspoon of the sugar to the pot. Stir to combine.
Cook the mixture for 10 minutes, or until the mixture resembles apple pie filling. The apples will still have a bite to them, but the liquid should be syrup-like.
Remove from the heat and set aside.
Spray a small baking dish or casserole with cooking spray. I used an 8.5" x 11" 2.5qt casserole dish for this.
Add the bananas to the bottom of a mixing bowl, and mash them with a fork.
Add the applesauce, maple syrup, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and extract and stir to combine.
Add the milk. Whisk together.
Add the oats. Fold in.
Pour the mixture evenly into the baking dish.
Add the apple topping to the top of the oatmeal, in an even layer.
Sprinkle the top of the dish with the reserved teaspoon of sugar, evenly.
Top with the chopped pecans.
Bake at 375 for 35-40 minutes or until set up.
Allow this bake to sit and cool for about 10 minutes until cutting, this will allow it to firm up.
