How to serve Apple Pie Overnight Oats

Serve the Apple Pie Overnight Oats in their jar or transfer them to a bowl. You can enjoy them cold straight from the fridge or warm them up in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Top with extra nuts, granola, or fresh apple slices for added crunch and flavor.

How to store Apple Pie Overnight Oats

Store any leftover Apple Pie Overnight Oats in the refrigerator for up to three days. Just make sure to keep them in a sealed container. If you find the oats have thickened too much, add a little more milk or apple juice to loosen them up before serving.

Tips to make Apple Pie Overnight Oats

For extra sweetness, add more maple syrup or honey according to your taste.
Try mixing in some raisins or dried cranberries for added texture.
If you want a creamier consistency, use full-fat Greek yogurt.
Feel free to switch up the toppings to include your favorite nuts or seeds.

Variation

You can customize this recipe in several ways. For a nut-free option, skip the nuts or use seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds instead. If you want a different flavor, swap the apple for pear or peaches. The spices can also be adjusted; adding a pinch of allspice or ginger can give a nice twist.

FAQs

Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?
Yes, but note that the texture may be softer. Rolled oats hold up better overnight.

Can I make this recipe vegan?
Absolutely! Use almond milk and skip the Greek yogurt or substitute it with a plant-based yogurt.

How long can I keep the overnight oats in the fridge?
They are best consumed within three days, but they can last up to a week if stored properly.
