Step 1

To a rimmed pan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add the chopped apple, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir and cook for 5 minutes, until the apple is golden and saucy, and the brown sugar has melted.

Step 2

Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

To a bowl, or into two separate jars, add milk, cinnamon, salt, maple syrup (optional), and applesauce. Mix until well combined. Add the rolled oats and mix once again. Finally, stir in the caramelized apples.

Step 4

Cover the bowl or the jars, and let the mixture sit in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight. Serve!
