Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal Tarte Tatin
This Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal Tarte Tatin is a delicious and crowd pleasing breakfast or brunch dish. Tender apples are caramelized with butter and maple syrup, then topped with a mixture of rolled oats, spices, and creamy oat milk, and baked until golden brown. The result is a crispy, crunchy oatmeal crust giving way to a soft and fluffy interior with golden brown apples waiting underneath. Perfect for a special occasion or a cozy morning at home!

Notes
It is important to use old-fashioned, or steel cut oats. Using instant oats will turn to mush before the apples and crust have formed.
Steel cut oats may require slightly longer cook time.
Make sure your skillet is oven-proof, no plastic! We like this Lodge cast iron, just take the removable handle cover off before throwing it in the oven.
