Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt; whisk until well mixed.
- In another bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, leaving a few dry oats.
- Fold in the chopped apples, nuts, and dried cranberries or raisins into the oat mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish, spreading evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 35–45 minutes, until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes
Don't overmix to avoid a dense texture. Use tart apples like Granny Smith for balance. Generously grease the baking dish for easy serving.
