Ingredients

Here’s everything you’ll need to make these indulgent yet wholesome overnight oats:

For the oats:

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based, like almond or oat milk)
• ½ cup plain yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess)
• 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional, for added texture and nutrition)
• 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the caramelized apples:

• 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and diced
• 1 tbsp butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
• 1 tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt

For garnish:

• Sprinkle of cinnamon
• Drizzle of caramelized apple sauce from the pan

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to make a breakfast that tastes like apple pie in a jar:

1. Prepare the Overnight Oats:
   In a medium-sized bowl or mason jar, combine the rolled oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours, to allow the oats to soak up the liquid.
2. Make the Caramelized Apples:
   • Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt.
   • Add the diced apple, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir to coat the apples evenly.
   • Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. Assemble the Oats:
   • The next morning, give the oats a stir and divide them into serving jars or bowls.
   • Spoon the caramelized apples (along with their sauce) over the oats.
4. Garnish and Serve:
   Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a drizzle of the caramelized sauce from the pan. Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy your apple pie-inspired breakfast!
