Instructions
Add diced apples, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to a medium sauté pan. Cook over medium heat, covered, for about 5 minutes to soften.
Uncover and sauté for an additional 3-5 minutes until the apples are tender and excess liquid evaporates. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix non-dairy milk, one tablespoon of maple syrup or brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. For richer flavor, blend half a cup of the cooked apples into the wet ingredients.
Add rolled oats, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and chia seeds to the apple milk mixture. Stir well and let sit for about 10 minutes.
Portion the warm apple mixture into serving bowls or jars, then layer the oat mixture on top. Add nuts or nut butter if desired.
Allow to sit for at least 10 minutes or refrigerate for a cold treat. Store in the refrigerator for up to five days.
