Notes

Make sure not to over-boil the oatmeal. You want it to be creamy but not too thick.
If making the vegan baked apples ahead of time, let the oatmeal be a bit creamier as it will absorb in the fridge.
You can make the apples ahead of time and place them in the fridge. Reheat them on low until warm (read the blog post for further instructions on meal prep)
To make the apples more indulgent (for dessert) top them with coconut whip cream and an extra drizzle of maple syrup
Nutritional breakdown does not include any additional toppings.
To store leftovers, let them cool fully before storing them in the fridge in a sealed container. Reheat them at 275F until warmed through.
