    About This Recipe

    Apple pie overnights oats is a healthy and delicious breakfast recipe that tastes like your favorite dessert, apple pie. These come together in under 5 minutes and can be made ahead of time.

    These dump-and-go overnight oats are super healthy, gluten-free, can be easily made vegan, one bowl, and are great for meal prep. Not only breakfast, but you can serve these for mid-meal snacks or even dessert.

    Serve them hot or cold topped with an array of toppings for a healthy start to your day.

    Ingredients

    Apple pie overnight oats ingredients.

    Apples – I like to use sweet red apples like honey crisp, gala, or fuji. You can use whichever apples you like. Adding some applesauce to the oats is also a great way to incorporate apple flavor in them.

    Oats – Rolled oats (old-fashioned oats) are best to make overnight oats. They absorb the liquid well and become soft but not mushy. Instant oats will become too soggy and steel-cut oats take a much longer time to become soft.

    Milk & Yogurt – Soak the oats in a combination of milk and yogurt. I personally like to use whole milk but you can choose skim milk or even dairy-free options like soy milk, coconut milk, almond milk, etc. The same goes for yogurt.

    Sweetener – Use honey to sweeten the overnight oats. Maple syrup or agave nectar can be used for a vegan version. Adjust the quantity of sweetener as per your taste.

    Cinnamon – This is my favorite ingredient, as it instantly adds so much flavor with just a small quantity. It also gives a little spiciness to the oats that make it even more delicious.

    Vanilla Extract – Add in a good quality vanilla extract for the best flavor and aroma.

    Topping – Finally, top the apple pie overnight with oats with pecans and chopped apples. You can also use other nuts such as almonds, walnuts, pistachios instead of pecans, which will add a nice crunch to the creamy oats.

    How To Make Apple Pie Overnight Oats

    Stir together ½ cup chopped apples, 1 teaspoon honey, and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon in a microwave-safe bowl.

    Chopped apples, honey and cinnamon added to a bowl.

    Micro at high for 1 minute until the apples are slightly softened.

    Cooked for a minute in microwave.

    Stir together ½ cup rolled oats, ½ cup milk, ¼ cup plain yogurt, 2 teaspoon honey, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon in another medium-size mixing bowl.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long to soak oats?

    The minimum time you need to soak the oats is 2 hours if you are in hurry or you forgot to soak it overnight. I like to soak it for a minimum of 5 to 6 hours or overnight. You can keep it for longer, up to 4 days too.

    Topping Ideas

    You can top the overnight oats with fresh chopped apples or caramelize them for a complex flavor.

    Nut butter such as almond butter, peanut butter, cashew butter are also great topping options.

    My other favorites are granola, seeds like sunflower seeds, chia seeds, or pumpkin seeds, dark chocolate, nuts like pecans, walnuts, almonds, etc.

    Storage Suggestions

    These overnight oats will last for up to 5 days in the fridge when stored in an air-tight container.

    This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled and instead of making it in a large bowl, you can make it in individual mason jars. Just grab one jar and have it on the go.
