Ingredients
Scale
For the Apples
- 1 medium apple, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (or sugar-free maple syrup)
- Pinch of sea salt
For the Oats
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your choice)
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ tablespoon pure maple syrup (or sugar-free maple syrup)
- 1 cup old fashioned oats (or gluten-free oats)
Topping
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Add the chopped apples, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt to a small saucepan over low heat. Stir to combine, then cover and cook gently for about 10 minutes until the apples become tender.
- Thicken the Apple Sauce: Remove the lid, increase the heat to medium, and cook the apples uncovered for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the apples, and most excess liquid evaporates. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Mix the Oat Base: In a small bowl, combine the almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ½ tablespoon maple syrup. Stir well to blend flavors.
- Add the Oats: Stir the oats into the flavored milk mixture thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Layer the Oats and Apples: Divide one quarter of the oat mixture equally between two 8 oz mason jars or airtight containers. Then evenly layer one quarter of the cooked apples on top of the oats in each jar. Repeat layering with another quarter of the oat mixture followed by apples until jars are filled.
- Add Toppings and Refrigerate: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chopped walnuts over each jar. Cover tightly with lids and refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to meld and oats to soften.
- Serve: Enjoy the apple pie overnight oats chilled, at room temperature, or gently warmed if preferred for a comforting breakfast treat.
Notes
- Use gluten-free oats if you want this recipe to be gluten-free.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with a sugar-free alternative to reduce sugar content.
- The overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator safely for up to 3 days.
- Make extra jars for a quick grab-and-go breakfast during busy mornings.
- For added creaminess, stir in a spoonful of Greek yogurt before serving if not vegan.
