When you have plenty of apples in your kitchen, what could be a better way to use up those apples than in a delicious breakfast recipe? Apple Pecan Baked Oatmeal is one of our favorite breakfasts!

We love to go apple-picking in the fall, and bring home all the apples to make Apple Crisp, Apple Dip (to go with the apples), Applesauce, and Instant Pot Apple Butter.
Oats are a staple in our pantry that we buy in bulk from our food co-op.
We usually have regular oatmeal and baked oatmeal at least once a week, so we’re always on the lookout for new ways to use up our oats.
