APPLE PIE OVERNIGHT OATS

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.
