Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
Mix Dry: In a large bowl, combine oats, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and salt.
Mix Wet: In another bowl, whisk eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla (and maple syrup if using) until smooth.
Combine: Fold the wet ingredients into the dry. Fold in the grated apple (and any juice). This keeps the bake moist.
Bake: Pour batter into dish. Arrange thin apple slices on top in a single layer. Mix turbinado sugar with ½ tsp cinnamon and sprinkle over top.
Bake 35-40 minutes until set, golden, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool & Serve: Cool for 10 minutes. It will firm up. Serve warm with a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of almond butter.
Pro-Tips for the Breakfast Bake:
Texture Secret: Grating one apple incorporates it into the batter for moisture and even sweetness. Slicing the other gives you tender, recognizable apple bites.
