Ingredients

Apple Pie Filling

  • 4 cups apples (approximately 3-4 apples) peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • pinch salt
  • 3/4 cup water

Oatmeal Layer

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk any milk will work
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 3 teaspoons maple syrup for extra sweetness, as desired other sweeteners may be used

Yogurt Layer

  • 3 cups vanilla nonfat Greek yogurt* I like Dannon Light and Fit

Instructions

Apple pie filling

  • Peel, core, and dice the apples.
  • Spray a large skillet with nonstick spray and add the diced apples, cinnamon, sugar, vanilla, cornstarch, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  • Stir to coat the apples with the spices, and then add the water.
  • Cook the apple mixture on low for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • The apples should be tender, but still have a bite. The sauce should thicken, similar to apple pie filling.
  • Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

Oatmeal Layer

  • To each mason jar or serving container, add 1/3 cup of oats, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of maple syrup (or another desired sweetener).
  • Stir to combine.

Yogurt Layer and Assembly

  • Add 1/4 cup of the cooked apples on top of the oatmeal layer of each jar.
  • Add 1/2 cup of yogurt to each mason jar.
  • Add another 1/4 cup of the apple filling on top of the yogurt layer in each jar.
  • Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 6 hours.

Notes

*I find if you use vanilla yogurt it is sweet enough on its own, but if you use plain, you will need to add 1 to 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup to the yogurt.
These apple overnight oats will keep well for up to about a week in the refrigerator, which makes them perfect for meal prep! I like to use these 12-ounce wide mouth jars, which each come with an airtight, sealed lid. If the oats seem super thick after a few days, you can just add in a splash of milk right before serving.
