Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 medium sweet apple, diced (such as Fuji or Honeycrisp)

1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional for extra warmth)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (for added nutrition)

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for creaminess)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (for a crunchy texture)

Toppings: Additional diced apple, a dollop of yogurt, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a drizzle of maple syrup

Instructions
 

Combine the Base Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl or a mason jar, add the rolled oats, almond milk, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, nutmeg (if using), and chia seeds. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the oats are submerged in the liquid.

    Add the Apples: Carefully fold in the diced apple, ensuring that the pieces are evenly incorporated throughout the oat mixture for balanced flavor in each bite.

      Incorporate Greek Yogurt: If you're opting for Greek yogurt to enhance the creaminess, add it to the mixture now. Stir gently until the yogurt is fully blended in, creating a smooth consistency.

        Refrigerate: Seal the container with a lid or cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats to absorb the flavors and soften to a creamy texture.

          Serve: The next morning, remove the oats from the refrigerator and give them a good stir. If you find the mixture too thick for your liking, add a splash of almond milk to loosen it up to your preferred consistency.

            Add Crunch and Toppings: Top your overnight oats with a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans for that delightful crunch. Sprinkle additional diced apple for a touch of freshness, add a sprinkle of cinnamon, and drizzle some maple syrup on top if you want extra sweetness.

              Enjoy: Dive into your delicious Apple Pie Overnight Oats, and savor the wonderful flavors reminiscent of a comforting apple pie—now with a healthy twist!
