Apple Pie Overnight Oats
Description
The recipe starts by softening chopped apples with maple syrup and cinnamon in the microwave, mimicking the flavor of baked apples. The softened apples are combined with oats, milk, yogurt, vanilla, and additional spices. This mixture is refrigerated overnight (or at least 30–60 minutes) to allow the oats to absorb moisture and soften. The final texture is creamy but slightly textured due to the oats and fruit.
This dish provides a cold, ready-to-eat breakfast that can be topped with extra apples, nuts, nut butters, or seeds for added texture and flavor. It suits those seeking a nutritious start with appealing fall flavors.
The recipe allows flexibility in milk and yogurt choices, accommodating dairy-free options. Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or other sweeteners, including sugar alternatives for reduced sugar intake.
Ingredients
Cinnamon Apples
- 1/2 cup apple about 1/2 a large apple, chopped
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- pinch cinnamon
Overnight Oats
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 -3/4 cup dairy-free milk almond, cashew, coconut, etc, unsweetened vanilla
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup honey or your favorite sweetener
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or apple pie spice
- apple nut butter, chopped nuts, chia or hemp seeds, toppings, cinnamon
Instructions
- Prep cinnamon apples: Add chopped apple pieces, maple syrup and cinnamon in a small microwave-safe bowl. Stir together to coat apples. Heat for 30 - 60 seconds, until apples have softened a bit and look similar to baked apples. Let cool and reserve 1/4 cup of the apples to use as a topping.
- Mix remaining ingredients: Add oats, milk, yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla and cinnamon into a dish with a lid (a mason jar works great!).
- Stir in apples: Add 1/4 cup of the cinnamon apples to the oat mixture and stir. Place lid on jar and shake to combine a bit more.
- Refrigerate: Place in the fridge overnight (or just 30-60 minutes if you’re making these the morning of).
- Serve: Remove lid from jar, add more yogurt or almond milk if the mixture seems too thick. Top with extra 1/4 cup apples and your favorite overnight oat toppings. I love adding a little nut butter or chopped nuts.
Notes
- Siggi's vanilla & cinnamon yogurt has been used successfully and adds flavor; plain yogurt works as well.
- Unsweetened vanilla almond milk or other plant-based milks can be used as desired.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or a preferred liquid sweetener; sugar alternatives like stevia or monk fruit are options for lowering sugar.
