A delicious and nutritious breakfast that combines the comforting flavors of apple pie with creamy oats, ready to enjoy in the morning!
Ingredients
- 2 sweet apples 1/2-inch diced (peeled if preferred)
- 1 tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 cups unsweetened non-dairy milk
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or brown sugar (plus more to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger (optional)
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 2 cups quick-cooking or rolled oats
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional for serving)
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.
