Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)

1 medium tart apple, diced (such as Granny Smith)

1 tablespoon maple syrup (or to taste)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added texture and nutrition)

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for creaminess)

2 tablespoons crushed walnuts or pecans (for topping)

Fresh apple slices and a sprinkle of cinnamon for garnish

Instructions
 

Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl or a mason jar, add the rolled oats, almond milk, diced apple, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, chia seeds, and Greek yogurt (if using). Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and the oats are well coated with the milk and spices.

    Adjust for Sweetness: Taste the mixture and, if preferred, adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup until it reaches your desired level of sweetness.

      Transfer to Containers: Evenly divide the oat mixture into two mason jars or airtight containers. Ensure the diced apples and oats are well distributed for balanced flavor in every spoonful.

        Chill Overnight: Seal the jars or containers tightly and place them in the refrigerator overnight (or at least 4-5 hours). This will allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften, creating a creamy texture.

          Garnish and Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir to mix any settled ingredients. Top each serving with crushed walnuts or pecans, fresh apple slices, and a generous sprinkle of cinnamon to evoke that delightful apple pie flavor. Drizzle additional maple syrup on top if desired.

            Enjoy: Serve the oats chilled straight from the fridge for a refreshing breakfast or warm them in the microwave for a cozy, comforting meal.
