Apple Pie Overnight Oats for a quick fall meal prep breakfast made with sautéed apples and a big spoonful of walnut butter. Serve them warm or chilled!
I started the month of September stocked with pumpkin, apple, and sweet potato; ready to make all of the fall things.
So, while the temperatures are blazing hot outside, it feels and smells like fall inside my kitchen.
I’m also getting back into a routine after being away last weekend celebrating my three year anniversary with M.
We explored Colonial Williamsburg and Historic Jamestown and whole-heartedly ate our way through vegan food in Toana, Virginia.
I still can’t believe it’s been three years since we matched on Bumble and I opened my heart to someone new.
So, September is special.
In September I also always experience a renewed joy for meal prep, so today’s recipe is something you can easily prepare in advance.
These Apple Pie Overnight Oats are the quick fall breakfast you need for the changing seasons.
They’re made in advance with sautéed apples and a big spoonful of walnut butter.
The best part is, you can enjoy them chilled or warm them up, depending on your mood and your local weather!
Ingredients for Sautéed Apples
The first step to making these Apple Pie Overnight Oats is to prepare the sautéed apples.
They basically taste like an apple pie filling that you make on the stovetop in 10 minutes.
It’s the perfect topping for pancakes, yogurt, or ice cream.
But today, we’re adding it to overnight oats!
Here’s what you need:
- coconut oil
- apple
- lemon
- maple syrup
- cinnamon
That’s it!
Make the Sautéed Apples
To prepare the apple compote, first heat a pan over medium heat with coconut oil.
When the coconut oil is melted, add the diced apple to the pan and toss them so they’re well-coated.
I used Fuji apples for this recipe, but any apple that you have on hand will work.
I like to peel my apples, but you can easily leave the skins on, too!
Next, add in the lemon juice, maple syrup, and cinnamon and mix everything together.
Sauté the diced apples for 8-10 minutes, stirring often, until the apples are soft, fragrant, and tender.
The apples are done when they start to brown a bit on the sides.
Set them aside.
What You Need for the Overnight Oats
Now it’s time to add some oats into the mix.
I use my basic blueprint overnight oats recipe for the base of this pie-like overnight oats recipe.
You need:
- gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats
- black chia seeds
- pure maple syrup
- unsweetened almond milk
- protein powder
- cinnamon
That’s it!
Make the Overnight Oats
Add all of the overnight oat ingredients to a large mason jar.
Stir everything to roughly combine so the oats are completely coated in the almond milk.
I like to add protein powder in mine for a protein boost, but you don’t have to.
Cover the mason jar and transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Putting Them Together
In the morning, uncover the overnight oats and stir to check the thickness.
You can add more almond milk as needed to reach your desired consistency, or add a spoonful of chia seeds to thicken things up.
To assemble to Apple Pie Overnight Oats, divide the oats between two smaller jars, layering in the chilled sautéed apples and walnut butter.
Continue layering until all of the sautéed apples and walnut butter is used up.
Alternatively, you can serve the overnight oats in a bowl and skip the jar altogether.
How to Serve Them
Serve these Apple Pie Overnight Oats with your favorite granola and any additional toppings.
I love a big spoonful of Artisana Organics Raw Organic Walnut Butter.
This delicious walnut butter is made exclusively from raw organic walnut and raw organic cashews.
It’s a personal favorite in my house that we use on all of our breakfast things.
Because this nut butter is raw and minimally processed, it retains important nutty nutrients!
Store the overnight oats in the refrigerator for up to one week and enjoy them for a quick fall breakfast.
They can be served chilled straight from the refrigerator or reheated in the microwave for a cozy feel.
