Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats
Yield: 6 servings
This Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats recipe is an easy make-ahead breakfast. The oats are ultra creamy and studded with bites of fresh sautéed apples with cinnamon.
Ingredients
For a large batch of cinnamon apples:
- 4 cups peeled, cored, and ½"-diced firm, tart apples that are good for baking (I like to use Honeycrisp or Haralson apples, but any firm, crisp apple will work.)
- ¼ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- pinch nutmeg
- ½ cup fresh-pressed apple cider (in the refrigerated section at the grocery store)
- ¼ cup water
- 1½ tablespoons cornstarch
For a SINGLE SERVING of overnight oats:
- ½ cup old-fashioned oats (not quick-cooking oats)
- 2 tablespoons steel cut oats
- ½ cup milk
- ⅓ cup plain yogurt
- ½ cup prepared cinnamon apples
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
- sliced or slivered almonds and additional prepared cinnamon apples, for topping
For a LARGE-BATCH (6 SERVINGS) of overnight oats:
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats (not quick-cooking oats)
- ¾ cup steel cut oats
- 3 cups milk
- 2 cups plain yogurt
- 3 cups prepared cinnamon apples
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
- sliced or slivered almonds and additional prepared cinnamon apples, for topping
Instructions
- This recipe makes a large batch of the cinnamon apples mixture and then gives quantities and directions for making single servings of the overnight oats or a large-batch quantity. The cinnamon apples mixture allows for 6 to 8 servings, depending on how much you use for each serving. The cinnamon apples keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. The combined oats mixture keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
For a large batch of cinnamon apples:
- In a medium saucepan over medium to medium-high heat, stir together all ingredients for the cinnamon apples.
- Stir regularly until mixture starts to boil. Once boiling, turn heat down to low and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until mixture is thickened and apples are tender to your liking. I like the apples softened, but with a little bite left. Remove saucepan from heat.
For a SINGLE SERVING of overnight oats:
- In a single serving bowl or jar, stir together all ingredients for the oats. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- The following morning, give the oats mixture a little stir and then top with almonds and additional cinnamon apples. Combined oats mixture keeps well in the refrigerator for up to three days.
For a LARGE-BATCH (6 SERVINGS) of overnight oats:
- In a medium-large bowl, stir together all ingredients for the oats. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- The following morning, give the oats mixture a stir. Then portion out as much as you'd like into a small bowl. If desired, loosen with a bit more milk. Top with almonds and additional cinnamon apples.
