how to make apple pie overnight oats

Detailed instructions and measurements are listed in the recipe card at the bottom of this page.

Pour oats into a jar. Add 1/2 of the maple syrup, vanilla extract, 1/2 of cinnamon, apple pie spice, and almond milk. Stir to combine.
Place lid on and refrigerate overnight (or at least 6 hours).
In a small pan, add apples, remaining maple syrup, and cinnamon. Sauté until softened, stirring frequently.
Remove from pan and allow to cool.
Store separately and add to your oats when ready to eat.

tips and tricks

You can make your apples when you put your oats ingredients in the refrigerator and store in an airtight container until ready to serve. You can also opt to make them when ready to eat. Either way works, just choose what's best for you!
I like to make my overnight oats in a pint mason jar. I find that it allows enough room to add toppings or even fat free Greek Yogurt if I want. Any container with an airtight lid will do though!

faqs

What kind of apples should I use for Apple Pie Overnight Oats? Whatever apples are your favorite! I really love gala and fuji, but you can use whatever kind you want. I know a lot of people prefer granny smith for their apple pie flavor.

Can I substitute the maple syrup? You can use whatever your sweetener of choice is. I really love the way pure maple syrup tastes in overnight oats specifically, but if you want to replace that with brown sugar, stevia, etc. you do what you like best.

Apple Pie Spice is sold out where I live, can I use something else? You bet! Apple Pie Spice just contains cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Feel free to buy those items separately and add them as needed.

Do I eat overnight oats cold or hot? This is completely up to you. I personally prefer mine cold and don't really enjoy hot oatmeal. You can most definitely heat them up though! You'd really get a good apple pie vibe doing that.

alterations for picky eaters

Use the favorite apple of your picky eater.
Add brown sugar to the apple mixture.
Leave out the apple pie spice and use only cinnamon.

alterations to lower calories or ww points

Use a protein granola if you'll be topping it. I personally like Nature Valley protein granola.
Although in this measurement, the maple syrup adds very little caloric value, you could replace it with stevia or a brown sugar substitute like Swerve or monk fruit sweetener. I haven't personally tried this so you'll have to play with the measurements to find what works best.
