To create the oats, add the oats, baking powder, maple syrup, applesauce, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and milk to a blender. Blend all of the ingredients.
Grate your apple and measure out ½ cup. Fold it into the blended oats. Also add the chopped pecans. Do not blend the apple and pecans!
Transfer the batter into an oven safe ramekin and make the oats for about 30 minutes at 400*F/200*C. You can bake for more if you want the inside to have more of a cake texture, or less if you prefer your baked oats to be gooey.
While the oats are baking, chop ½ apple into small cubes. Add it to a pan over medium heat along with the chopped pecans, oil, maple, vanilla, and cinnamon.
Cook the apple and pecans for 5-7 minutes, stirring throughout so that it doesn’t stick to the pan.
Once the oats are ready, top them with the caramelized apple topping and dig in!
