Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal

[anitra]

We've been having baked oatmeal fairly often lately, but this is the first time I've branched off from existing recipes. It was fantastic! Almost like a coffe cake that you pour milk over and eat with a spoon. :)  nightskyre was thrilled, since it's less than 450 calories per serving. Not bad for a sweet and hearty breakfast!

• 4 cups old fashioned oats
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, divided
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tablespoons butter
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1/2 cup natural applesauce
• 2 apples, diced

In a large bowl mix together all ingredients except for ¼ cup of the brown sugar.
Spread into a greased 9×13 pan. (You can store in the fridge overnight at this point)
Sprinkle remaining ¼ cup brown sugar on top just before baking.
Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.

Serves 6.
