Ingredients

For the Cinnamon Apples:

2 sweet apples 1/2” dice and peeled if preferred (I prefer honeycrisp)
1 tablespoon brown sugar or maple syrup
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch kosher salt

For the Oatmeal:

2 cups unsweetened non-dairy milk
1 tablespoon maple syrup or brown sugar plus more to taste
1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger optional
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg optional
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups quick-cooking or rolled oats*
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts for serving (optional)

Instructions

Apples: Add the apples, maple syrup, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to a medium sauté pan with a lid. Mix well and warm over medium heat. Cover once the apples begin to sizzle and let sit for 5 minutes. Uncover and sauté for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all of the extra liquid has dissolved and the apples are tender. Set aside.
Wet Ingredients: Add the non-dairy milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt to a large bowl. Optional: Add 1/2 cup of the cooked apple mixture and use an immersion blender to blend together for an extra apple flavor. You can also do this in a regular blender.
Dry Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and chia seeds to the apple milk. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the liquid.
Portion: Give the oats another mix to combine. Divide the apple mixture into the number of desired servings, then layer the oat and apple mixture in glass jars (or other Tupperware). Top with chopped nuts or nut butter, if desired.
Serve & Store: Let the oats sit for at least another 10 minutes before serving, or refrigerate immediately. These overnight oats will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

Apples: I prefer to use honeycrisp apples in this recipe because they are sweet, but another sweet apple will work as well. If you use a more sour apple you can also add more sweetener to taste.
Protein Powder: For a protein boost add 1 scoop of your favorite vanilla protein powder with the oats in step 3. Omit the maple syrup in step 2 and add more milk as necessary if the oats become too thick.
Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free certified oats.
