Apple Pie Overnight Oats

Step 1

Prepare the oats. Add all the ingredients for the oats to a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the quantity of maple syrup depending on your preferences.

Step 2

Add the blended oats to a large or two smaller jars.

Step 3

Cover and place the jar in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.

Step 4

Prior to serving, prepare the caramelized apple. Rince, core and chop the apple into medium cubes. You can keep the skin if it’s organic.

Step 5

Combine the coconut milk and sugar in a small sauce pan on the stove. Heat on medium to bring to a boil. Then reduce to a low simmer and cook for 15-25 minutes, until it browns and gets the consistency of a thick and silky caramel sauce. Stir frequently to avoid burning.

Step 6

While the caramel is cooking, heat the coconut oil in a skillet. Add the diced apple and cinnamon and sauté on medium for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apple is tender.

Step 7

Once the caramel sauce has thickened, remove from heat and stir in maple syrup and vanilla. Add the cooked apple and stir to combine.

Step 8

When ready to serve, remove the oatmeal from fridge and give it a quick stir. Add the caramelized apple on top and garnish with pecan nuts. Enjoy!
