    Ingredients for making Apple Pie Overnight Oats: 

    • old fashioned rolled oats are generally the best choice when it comes to overnight oats as they give you that creamy, smooth texture with just the perfect amount of chew.
    • apples– Any kind of apple will work here so use the kind you enjoy the most.   
    • chia seeds help set the mixture some more and add some Omega 3.
    • lots of cinnamon and a hint of vanilla  – because it would not taste like apple pie without those flavors.
    • for this recipe, you can use any non-dairy milk such as almond, light coconut, soy, or oat milk.
    • maple syrup adds a nice round and not too overpowering sweetness to the base and apple topping.
    •  pecans candied in some brown sugar add some crunch and will give you all the cozy fall feels.

     


    Tips

    • For this recipe, I used 1 cup of oats for 1 1/2 cup of milk as I was aiming for a creamy texture to contrast the crunchy pecans. Add a tiny bit less liquid if you want firmer oatmeal.
    • I’d recommend against using instant oats as they end up almost dissolving in the liquid. Steel-cut oats, on the other hand, will soften up enough.
    • If you want to make this recipe for meal prep and add some dried fruit – those can be added at night, as they need time to absorb liquid and plump up overnight.
    • You can make the oat mix ahead of time. Make sure to give your overnight oats a good stir after taking them out of the fridge to ensure everything is well-combined.
    • You can use other grain flakes such as rice flakes or quinoa flakes if you cannot find gluten-free oats.
    • Toast some old fashioned oats before soaking. Toasting adds a nice nutty flavor and also improves the oat texture and flavor.

    How to make Apple Pie Overnight Oats

    Warm the non-dairy milk in a bowl. Add the oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and mix well. Let this mixture sit for 15 to 20 minutes so it thickens a little bit.

    Assemble the overnight oats in three jars. Add a layer of the oat chia mixture, then add some apples, pecans, then some more oat mixture, and then some more apples and pecans. You can also add other fruits such as berries, blueberries, etc on top.

    How long do these Apple Pie Overnight Oats keep? 

    Overnight oats can usually be stored in an airtight container and will be fine to eat for up to four days when refrigerated. As the days pass they’ll continue to soften some more which might be a bonus if you like your oatmeal creamy. You can definitely prepare a whole work week’s worth of overnight oats in one go and have nothing to worry about all week.

      This turned out amazing. The only thing I might do different next time is use toasted pecans for layering and sprinkling with the candied pecans before serving. But everyone loved it.

      Do you think I’d okay to replace pecans with peanuts or cashews?
