Instructions
Prepare the Apples:
- In a small saucepan, combine chopped apples, cinnamon, maple syrup, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the cinnamon.
- Turn the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Cook the apples, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until they are soft and tender.
- Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, to evaporate some of the juices and create a syrup around the apples.
- Once most of the liquid has evaporated, turn off the heat and set the apples aside.
Prepare the Oats:
- In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, cinnamon, nut butter, and vanilla. Mix well.
- Add the oats to the mixture and stir until well-combined.
Assemble the Overnight Oats:
- Divide the cooked apple mixture evenly between two small mason jars or bowls with lids, placing about a quarter of the apples in the bottom of each container.
- Pour half of the oat mixture into each container as the middle layer.
- Top the oats with the remaining cooked apples, dividing them evenly between the containers.
Refrigerate Overnight
- Seal the jars or bowls with lids and place them in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 6 hours, to allow the flavors to meld and the oats to soften.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve at room temperature!
