  • 1 cup Rolled oats

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt Can be substituted with dairy-free yogurt.
  • 1 tbsp Chia seeds Adds creaminess and nutrition.
  • 2 tbsp Maple syrup Adjust based on your desired sweetness.
Apple Mixture
  • 1 cup Diced apples Use sweet varieties like Honeycrisp or Fuji.
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and maple syrup. Stir until well combined.
  2. Divide the mixture evenly between two mason jars or containers.
  3. In a small bowl, mix diced apples with cinnamon, lemon juice, and brown sugar. Stir to coat the apple pieces.
  4. Top each jar with the apple mixture, pressing down slightly to settle it.
  5. Seal the jars and sit them in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Serving
  1. In the morning, stir the oats and enjoy cold or heat briefly in the microwave if preferred warm.
  2. Garnish with extra sliced apples, chopped nuts, or a dollop of yogurt if desired.
  3. Drizzle with additional maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Storage
  1. Store Apple Pie Overnight Oats in sealed jars or airtight containers in the fridge for about 3-5 days.
  2. Stir before eating as the ingredients may settle.
  3. For longer storage, freeze the oats before adding the apple topping, then reheat and add fresh apples when ready to eat.
Tips
  1. Choose sweet apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji for best flavor.
  2. Customize sweetness by adjusting maple syrup or brown sugar.
  3. Consider adding nuts for crunch and nutrition.
  4. Experiment with spices like nutmeg or allspice for enhanced flavor.
Variations
  1. Substitute apples with pears or peaches for a different fruit flavor.
  2. Add dried fruits like raisins or cranberries for added texture.
  3. Incorporate almond butter or peanut butter for extra creaminess.
  4. Try adding pumpkin puree for a pumpkin pie version with adjusted spices.
