Apple Butter Baked Oatmeal Casserole
Baked oatmeal is, by far, one of my favorite breakfasts to make for the family. My apple butter baked oatmeal is no exception. Not only are they healthier than the standby store
This version is made with my homemade apple butter, fresh apple chunks, and vanilla. I love to make different recipes with my homemade jams and butter. Another one of my favorite breakfasts that uses my apple butter is my apple butter waffles with brown sugar cinnamon whipping cream.
This recipe also includes a delicious caramel-like syrup sauce topping. This brown sugar syrup made with brown sugar (of course), heavy cream, and vanilla. The syrup is not necessarily a must-have for this recipe, but it is oh so good with this breakfast dish.

Cost of this recipe.
The cost of this delicious baked oatmeal breakfast is roughly $5.77 for the entire casserole dish. I can cut about eight to nine servings from an 8 x 8 casserole dish. This comes to about $0.72 per serving. This recipe is perfect because it reheats wonderfully for leftover breakfasts throughout the week.
The majority of the recipe consists of rolled oats and sugars, all of which I don’t grow. I do reduce the cost of this recipe by growing the apples and making and canning the apple butter from scratch. We also grow the eggs and make homemade vanilla extract.
