2 medium sweet crips apples, such as Honeycrisp or Pink Lady, peeled and chopped into ¼ inch pieces
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
¼ cup packed light brown sugar (50g) (plus 1 teaspoon for coating the apples)
¾ cup milk of choice (180ml)
½ cup plain Greek yogurt (120g)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (160g)
1 teaspoon baking powder

Preheat & Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking dish, or line with parchment for easy removal and slicing.
Prepare the Apples: In a small bowl, toss the chopped apples with ½ teaspoon cinnamon and 1 teaspoon brown sugar. Spread evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Make the Oat Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla, salt, ¼ cup brown sugar, and remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon until smooth. Stir in the oats and baking powder until just combined.
Assemble: Pour the oat mixture over the apples and spread evenly. If using, sprinkle the topping ingredients over the surface.
Bake: Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until golden and just set in the center. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving, or allow to cool completely before slicing.

Apples: Note that the apples will soften in the oven but still have a little bite, almost like the filling of an apple crisp.
Slicing: For the cleanest slices, let the bake cool completely before cutting, and line your pan with parchment paper so it lifts out easily. Note, this is not an "oat bar," and it won't slice as such, so don't worry if it ends up slightly crumbly, this is the texture it's meant to have.
Bake Time: Keep an eye on the bake time, since if you over-bake, it can turn out dry. Pull it when the center is just set and golden on top.
