Craving apple pie for breakfast? Then make this healthy 5-minute apple pie overnight oats. It is super easy, gluten-free, can be easily made vegan. It's great for meal prep too.
Stir together ½ cup chopped apples, 1 teaspoon honey, and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon in a microwave safe bowl.
Micro at high for 1 minute until the apples are slightly softened.
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.
Add the apple mixture to the oats mixture and mix well.
Close the lid of the bowl and refrigerate for 8-10 hours.
Add some more milk if the mixture is too thick and transfer the oats in 2 serving bowls.
Top with chopped apples, toasted chopped pecans, and chia seeds. Serve chilled or heat them in the microwave and serve hot.

Notes
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.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.
