- 1 cup rolled oats - 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice) - 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce - 1 medium apple, peeled and diced into small cubes - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract - 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (or honey) - 1 tablespoon chia seeds - A pinch of ground nutmeg - 1/4 cup chopped walnuts - Fresh apple slices - Additional cinnamon for garnish When I make Apple Pie Overnight Oats, I focus on simple yet tasty ingredients. The rolled oats serve as a great base. They soak up all the flavors while keeping a nice texture. I love using almond milk, but any milk works great. Unsweetened applesauce adds natural sweetness and moisture. Diced apples bring a fresh crunch and taste just like pie. To enhance the flavor, I add ground cinnamon and nutmeg. These spices remind me of cozy fall days. A bit of vanilla extract adds warmth, while maple syrup or honey provides extra sweetness. Chia seeds are a fun addition. They help thicken the oats and add some healthy fats. For toppings, I often sprinkle chopped walnuts for crunch. Fresh apple slices look pretty and taste great. A light dusting of cinnamon on top makes it even better. Each bite feels like a dessert, but it’s healthy enough for breakfast! Start by grabbing a large mixing bowl. Combine 1 cup of rolled oats, 1 cup of almond milk, 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce, and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Stir well to coat all oats with the liquid. Next, add in 1 medium diced apple, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey. Mix everything until well blended. If you want some crunch, fold in 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts. This step is optional, but it adds great texture to your oats. Now, divide the mixture evenly into four jars. Cover each jar tightly with a lid or plastic wrap. Place them in the refrigerator to chill overnight or for at least 4 hours. This helps the oats absorb all the flavors. In the morning, take the jars out of the fridge. Stir the oats well. If you like a creamier texture, add a splash of almond milk and mix again. Just before serving, top each jar with fresh apple slices, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and optional walnuts for extra crunch. Enjoy your tasty and healthy breakfast! To get the right creaminess, adjust the liquid. If your oats feel too thick, add a splash of almond milk. This small change helps achieve the perfect balance. For a richer texture, use less liquid. Just remember, the oats will absorb more liquid overnight. Want to mix it up? Substitute almond milk with coconut milk for a tropical twist. You can also swap applesauce for mashed banana. This adds natural sweetness and a new taste. Try using maple syrup or honey for different flavors too. Each choice creates a new experience in every bite. Planning for busy mornings? Make several jars at once. This saves time and keeps breakfast ready. Store the jars in the fridge for up to five days. Grab one each morning! You will enjoy a tasty meal without the hassle of cooking. Each jar is a healthy start to your day. {{image_4}} You can use any milk you like for your oats. Here are some tasty choices: - Dairy milk: This is a classic choice, rich and creamy. - Oat milk: A smooth option that adds a nice flavor. - Coconut milk: This gives a tropical twist and a creamy texture.

Here are some great ideas: - Pumpkin spice: This adds warmth and is perfect for fall. - Berries: Fresh or frozen berries add sweetness and color. - Bananas: Slice them in for a creamy texture and natural sweetness. Adding these fruits or spices makes your oats fun and new with each season. You can easily adapt this recipe to fit your diet. Here are some options: - Vegan: Use plant-based milk and maple syrup instead of honey. - Nut-free: Skip the walnuts and check your milk for nuts. These changes help you enjoy delicious oats without worries about your diet. Apple Pie Overnight Oats stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days. Keep the oats in airtight jars or containers.

However, the texture may change when thawed. To freeze, use a freezer-safe container. Leave some space at the top, as oats expand when frozen. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving. To warm up your overnight oats, use the microwave. Heat for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir well after heating. If they seem too thick, add a splash of almond milk to get the right consistency.

Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 medium apple, peeled and diced into small cubes

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (or honey)

1 tablespoon chia seeds

A pinch of ground nutmeg

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Fresh apple slices and a light sprinkle of additional cinnamon for garnish

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, start by combining the rolled oats, almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture well to ensure all the oats are thoroughly coated with the liquid.

    Next, add in the diced apple, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, chia seeds, and maple syrup (or honey). Mix everything thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

      If you desire a bit of extra crunch, fold in the chopped walnuts at this stage. (This step is optional but highly recommended for added texture.)

        Divide the oat mixture evenly among four jars or containers. Make sure that each jar has a similar amount of the mixture.

          Cover each jar securely with a lid or plastic wrap, and place them in the refrigerator to chill overnight (or for at least 4 hours). This resting period allows the oats to fully absorb the liquids and flavors, resulting in a deliciously creamy texture.

            In the morning, remove the jars from the refrigerator and stir the oats well. If you prefer a creamier consistency, feel free to add a splash of additional almond milk and mix until you achieve your desired texture.

              Just before serving, top each jar with fresh apple slices, a light sprinkle of ground cinnamon, and optional walnuts for an extra bit of crunch.
