Cook Time: Refrigeration overnight
Total Time: 8 hours 10 minutes
Servings: 2
Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy of your choice)
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 apple, peeled, cored, and chopped
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• A pinch of salt
• Optional toppings: chopped nuts, extra apple slices, raisins

Instructions

1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, and Greek yogurt. Stir well to ensure the oats are thoroughly mixed with the liquids.
2. Add the chopped apple, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and a pinch of salt. Mix until all components are evenly distributed.
3. Divide the mixture into two mason jars or airtight containers, layering the ingredients if you want to achieve a visual appeal.
4. Seal the jars tightly and refrigerate overnight, allowing the oats to soak and soften.
5. In the morning, give the oats a good stir. Top with your favorite garnishes such as chopped nuts, extra apple slices, or raisins for added texture and flavor.
6. Enjoy your Apple Pie Overnight Oats cold or warm. To warm, just microwave for 1-2 minutes until the desired temperature is reached.

Helpful Tips

For a creamier texture, use a higher fat content milk or yogurt. To switch things up, try using pears instead of apples for a different but equally delightful fall flavor. If you prefer your oats with more sweetness, add an extra drizzle of honey or maple syrup before serving.

Ingredient Substitutions

Substitute the Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt alternative to make this recipe vegan. If you don’t have rolled oats, quick-cooking oats can work in a pinch, though they might produce a slightly different texture.

Storage Instructions

Store the prepared overnight oats in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Just make sure they’re kept in airtight containers to maintain freshness.

Pairings

Serve your Apple Pie Overnight Oats with a warm cup of spiced chai or a glass of cold apple cider to enhance the autumn flavors. These oats also make a delightful pairing with a side of scrambled eggs or a slice of warm toast for a more filling breakfast.
