Apple Pie Overnight Oats
Creamy overnight oats layered with warm caramelized cinnamon apples for a cozy, protein-packed breakfast that tastes just like homemade apple pie.
Equipment
- Wooden Spoon or Spatula
- Meal Prep Jar (or bowl, or glass)
- Knife and cutting board
- Refrigerator
Ingredients
For the Caramelized Apples
- 1 apple diced
- ½ tbsp honey
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
For the Overnight Oats
- 60 g rolled oats (⅔ cup)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 120 g plain Greek yogurt (½ cup)
- ⅓ cup milk of choice
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tbsp honey
Instructions
- Add the diced apple, honey, and cinnamon to a small frying pan over medium heat. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft, caramelized, and coated in a sticky cinnamon glaze. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely. For a quicker option, microwave the diced apple with the honey and cinnamon for 1 to 2 minutes, or until softened.
- In a jar or bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, yogurt, milk, cinnamon and honey. Stir until well combined.
- For pretty layers: Spoon half of the oat mixture into the bottom of a jar, top with half of the caramelized apples, then repeat with the remaining oats and apples.
- For the easiest method: Fold half of the caramelized apples through the oat mixture and spoon into a jar or bowl. Top with the remaining apples.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- If desired, finish with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon, chopped nuts, a drizzle of honey, or a spoonful of nut butter. Enjoy cold, or warm in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds for a cozy breakfast.

NUTRITIONAL INFO:
These nutritional values are provided as a guide only and may be different depending on your ingredients and measurements.
- Use rolled oats: Old-fashioned rolled oats give the best creamy texture. Quick oats will soften more and become mushier.
- Let the apples cool: Cool the caramelized apples before mixing or layering them to keep the oats thick and creamy.
- Chill overnight: While 4 hours works, overnight chilling gives the oats the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness: Taste and add more or less honey depending on how sweet your apple is.
- Enjoy hot or cold: Serve straight from the fridge, or microwave for 30 to 60 seconds for a warm, cozy breakfast.
- Prep ahead: Make multiple jars at once for an easy grab-and-go breakfast throughout the week.
- Add toppings before serving: Chopped pecans, walnuts, granola, or a drizzle of nut butter add the perfect crunch and flavor.
- Store properly: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
