To elevate your Overnight Apple Pie Oats, consider adding a variety of nuts as a topping. Nuts such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds can provide a delightful contrast in both flavor and texture. The crunchiness of the nuts complements the creaminess of the oats and the softness of the apples, creating a harmonious balance in every bite. Additionally, nuts are a great source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber, making your breakfast not only tastier but also more nutritious.

Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 medium apple, diced (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust to taste)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

2 tablespoons chia seeds

¼ cup Greek yogurt (optional, for topping)

Chopped walnuts or pecans, for topping

Extra apple slices, for garnish

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using) until well combined.

    Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly to ensure the oats are evenly soaked.

      Incorporate Apples: Gently fold in the diced apple, ensuring that the fruit is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

        Divide and Store: Spoon the mixture into two mason jars or airtight containers. Make sure to leave a little space at the top, as the oats will expand overnight.

          Chill: Seal the jars or containers and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours, to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.

            Serve: In the morning, stir the oats to combine. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk to achieve your desired consistency.

              Top Off: Serve your Overnight Apple Pie Oats in bowls. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt, sprinkle with chopped walnuts or pecans, and garnish with extra apple slices. Drizzle with more maple syrup if desired.

                Enjoy: Dig in and enjoy a delicious, nutritious start to your day!
