Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray an 8 x 8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use a plant-based milk.
- Use any apple variety you prefer, such as Granny Smith for tartness or Fuji for sweetness.
- Walnuts can be substituted with pecans or omitted for a nut-free option.
- Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or agave syrup if desired.
- Ensure the baking dish is well greased to avoid sticking and make serving easier.
