Apple Oat Bread

It's Monday so, you know what that means... another week in Quarantine. But also, baking day for me! This week was a bit tough since we haven't gone to the store in a while so I was both trying to use up stuff in our fridge while also not using everything up. That being said, there will definitely be a trend in the ingredient list of "I used this AND this" (Subtext is: I ran out of the main thing...). I had low standards for this loaf but actually it's super flavorful!
