Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

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

1 medium apple, chopped (preferably a sweet variety like Fuji or Honeycrisp)

1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (for added nutrition)

¼ cup Greek yogurt (optional, for creaminess)

2 tablespoons raisins or chopped walnuts (for extra texture, optional)

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prep the Apples: Start by washing and chopping the apple into small cubes. If desired, peel the apple for a smoother texture.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.

      Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the almond milk and maple syrup (or honey) to the dry oat mix. Stir until everything is well combined. If you’re using Greek yogurt, fold it in now for a creamier consistency.

        Incorporate Apples: Gently fold the chopped apples and raisins or walnuts into the mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.

          Prepare Containers: Spoon the oat mixture into individual mason jars or airtight containers. Make sure to leave some space at the top, as the oats will expand as they soak up the liquid.

            Cover and Chill: Seal the jars or containers and place them in the refrigerator. Let them chill overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors.

              Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. You can add a splash more of almond milk if you desire a creamier texture. Top with additional apple slices, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.

                Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious flavors of apple pie in a healthy, kid-friendly breakfast!
