FAQs

Can I use frozen apples for this recipe?

Yes, frozen apples work well. Just make sure to thaw them slightly before cooking to avoid excess water in the mixture.

Is it necessary to cook the apple mixture before assembling?

Cooking the apple mixture softens the fruit and blends the flavors nicely, but if short on time, you can add raw chopped apples and let them soften overnight instead—though the texture will be firmer.

Instructions

1. Cook the Apple Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the diced apple, brown sugar, almond butter, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Place over medium heat on the stove and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened but still hold some shape.
2. Assemble Oats and Toppings: Spoon the dry oats evenly into two bowls or jars. Distribute the cooked apple mixture over the oats, then pour the milk on top. Sprinkle the raisins evenly across both servings. Do not stir the mixture yet; layering is essential for texture.
3. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowls or jars with lids or plastic wrap. Place them in the refrigerator to soak for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. This resting period allows the oats to absorb the milk and flavors to meld beautifully.
4. Serve and Enjoy: In the morning, enjoy your overnight oats cold straight from the fridge, or warm them up gently in the microwave if preferred. Stir before eating to combine layers and enjoy a comforting, apple pie-inspired breakfast.

Notes

• You can use any variety of apple, though firmer apples like Gala or Fuji hold texture better during cooking.
• For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond milk or another plant-based milk.
• Adjust the brown sugar quantity to taste, or replace with honey or maple syrup for natural sweetness.
• The almond butter adds creaminess and protein, but can be substituted with peanut butter or sunflower seed butter.
• These oats can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
