Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)

1 medium apple, cored and finely diced

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust to your desired level of sweetness)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added nutrition and texture)

1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or a non-dairy yogurt alternative)

1 tablespoon chopped walnuts (or chopped pecans for a different flavor)

1 tablespoon caramel sauce (for drizzling, optional but highly recommended)

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds (if using), ground cinnamon, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture vigorously until all ingredients are well incorporated and the oats are evenly coated.

    Incorporate the Apple: Carefully fold the finely diced apple into the oat mixture, ensuring that the apple pieces are evenly distributed throughout. This adds a delightful crunch and flavor to every bite.

      Add Creaminess: Stir in the plain Greek yogurt until fully combined. The yogurt will enhance the creaminess of the oats and provide a luscious texture that's reminiscent of traditional pie filling.

        Portion and Store: Spoon the mixture into individual mason jars or airtight containers, leaving a little room at the top for expansion during soaking.

          Refrigerate: Seal the containers with lids and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours. This step allows the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors, transforming them into a delicious, creamy consistency.

            Stir and Adjust: In the morning, take your jars out of the fridge and give the oats a thorough stir. If the mixture appears too thick for your liking, simply add a splash of almond milk to achieve your preferred consistency.

              Top and Serve: Supplement each serving with a sprinkle of chopped walnuts for a satisfying crunch and drizzle a bit of caramel sauce over the top for added sweetness and indulgence.

                Enjoy: Serve immediately for a delicious and satisfying breakfast that tastes like dessert!
