Apple Pie Overnight Oats

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This apple pie overnight oats recipe combines stewed apple, hearty oatmeal and wholesome ingredients to make a flavorful, comforting and packable breakfast that you can prepare for the week. To me, this recipe is my ultimate breakfast to transition into fall. You can eat it hot or cold, and the texture is just thick enough to be filling, but not heavy.

And of course you can mix-and-match this recipe as you like! What I have here are simply guidelines and guesstimates of how I prefer to make it. I’ll share more deets in the post below 🙂

Ingredients for these apple pie overnight oats

Once again, think of this recipe more as guidelines! They are definitely not set in stone. I’ve chosen each ingredient and measurement to maximize the thickness, texture and flavor of these overnight oats, but they are by no means mandatory. Swap things around and see what you like!

Here is the framework I would suggest starting with (for two servings):

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp flax meal or flax meal blend
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 large apples, diced
  • 1 cup of oat milk
  • Maple syrup or honey, for topping

How to make this vegan apple pie overnight oats recipe

Now, while the ingredients are flexible, I suggest you keep the process the same. Overnight oats are easy, but they are called overnight for a reason! Let them sit to get maximum delicious potential.

The one thing you can change is the apple. If you are ok with eating it raw, go for it! I add the apple raw to my oats all the time, it just depends on what I’m feeling at the moment 🙂

Here is the process I suggest using for this recipe:

  • Get two separate jars, make sure each jar can hold around 14-16 ounces.
  • Add the oats, chia, flax, and water to a large bowl. Either microwave for 4 minutes or cook on the stove top until the oats are thick.
  • Season the oats with the cinnamon and salt. Add in the diced apple and stir until it is nice and thick.
  • Split between the two jars and top with a generous pour of oat milk.
  • Let the oats cool slightly to room temperature before sealing and storing in the fridge.
  • Let sit for 6-12 hours, and eat within 72 hours.
  • Before eating, add a generous drizzle of maple syrup or honey.

Topping suggestions for these apple pie overnight oats

These oats on their own might be enough for you, but sometimes for me, this apple pie overnight oats recipe needs a few more topping to make it a full breakfast.

And that’s what I love about toppings – they give oats variety! That way you can prep all your breakfasts for the week, but still won’t be eating the “same thing every day” *sigh*

Here are my favorite toppings for these oats:

  • Three Wishes Gluten Free Cereal
  • Flax Meal
  • Maxine’s Heavenly Vegan Cookies
  • Almond Butter
  • Dried Cranberries
  • Dried Berries
  • Raisins
  • Nut mix

You can probably tell that I love to add some crunch, but really feel free to do whatever speaks to you and your vegan apple pie overnight oats.

These oats are cooked first for volume, and then allowed to chill overnight. You get that great cold overnight oat taste, but the same hydrated chia seeds and cooked oat benefits. These apple oats are simple, delicious and perfect for meal prep. You can make 2 or 4 servings to best fit your week.

TAJIN FETA you heard me right!! 5-second feta dres TAJIN FETA you heard me right!! 5-second feta dressing is my everything, and tajín feta by @athenosfeta is also my new everything. #AthenosPartner

This roasty, charred and spicy cauliflower cooks down with jammy, salty tomatoes, the flavors were inspired by Athenos’ new Tajín feta crumbles (!!!) which are the base of this simple dressing that’s packed with flavor. 

I’ve put these tangy, zippy feta crumbles in mini quesadillas, on avocado toast, in salads, and I think it’s their best invention yet. #FoodNeedsFeta and you can find this genius feta innovation at your grocery store! #AthenosPartner
