Apple Pie Overnight Oats
Description
In this Apple Pie Overnight Oats recipe, chopped apples are gently cooked with cinnamon, maple syrup, and sea salt to soften and infuse warm spice. Separately, almond milk is combined with chia seeds, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and additional maple syrup to add flavor and body. The cooked apple mixture and oat mixture are combined, cooked further until thickened, then layered into jars with walnut toppings.
Refrigerating overnight allows the oats to soak up the flavors and achieve a custard-like texture. This method delivers the familiar combination of apple pie spices and fruit in a convenient, ready-to-eat format that can be enjoyed cold, warm, or at room temperature.
The oats provide chewiness while the walnuts introduce crunch, balancing texture against tender apples. This recipe offers a sweet yet lightly spiced breakfast with natural sweetness from fruit and maple syrup, suitable for make-ahead meal prep.
