These creamy apple pie overnight oats are like having dessert for breakfast! Packed with the warm flavors of apple, maple, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, they offer a cozy, fall-inspired treat to start your day.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 ½ tbsp butter
- 1 apple, cut into small chunks
- 2 ½ tbsp brown sugar
- 1 ½ tbsp maple syrup
- 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp ground ginger
- ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
- ⅛ tsp ground cloves
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ⅔ cup almond milk
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the apple chunks, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, until the apples are tender. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Reserve a few apple pieces to top the oats later.
- In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and almond milk. Stir in the cooked apple mixture, including any leftover syrup.
- Divide the oats into two containers and top with the reserved apple pieces. Place the containers in the fridge to set for 6 hours or overnight.
NOTES
- Keep the lid on the saucepan while simmering to prevent too much water from evaporating, which can result in a thick, sticky syrup.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days.
