- 1 cup rolled oats - 1 cup almond milk (or your preferred dairy or non-dairy milk) - 1 large ripe apple, peeled and diced into small cubes - 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract - 2 tablespoons caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade; plus extra for drizzling) - 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess) - 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for nutrition) - Chopped nuts or granola for topping (optional for extra crunch) When I make caramel apple pie overnight oats, I love to use fresh ingredients. The rolled oats form the base. They soak up all the flavors overnight. Almond milk is my go-to, but you can use any milk you like. A ripe apple adds sweetness and crunch. The flavor enhancers really make this dish special. Brown sugar gives it that warm, sweet taste. Ground cinnamon adds a cozy spice that reminds me of fall. Pure vanilla extract brings everything together with its rich aroma. I also like to add some fun components. Caramel sauce is a must! You can use store-bought or make your own. Greek yogurt adds a nice creaminess, but it’s not necessary. Chia seeds boost the nutrition and are easy to mix in. For toppings, I enjoy chopped nuts or granola for added crunch. This mix of ingredients creates a delightful breakfast that is both tasty and satisfying. Each bite feels like a treat, and it’s simple to prepare. So, gather your ingredients and let’s get started! - First, grab a medium mixing bowl. - Combine 1 cup of rolled oats and 1 cup of almond milk. - Add 1 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract. - Stir until everything blends well. - Now, add 1 large diced apple to the oat mix. - Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of packed brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. - If you want, include 1 tablespoon of chia seeds. - Fold in 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt for creaminess, if using. - Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce into the mixture. - Save a little caramel for topping later. - Mix gently until the caramel is well spread throughout. - Transfer the mixture into airtight containers or mason jars. - Seal them tightly and refrigerate overnight. - Before serving, give the oats a good stir to mix again. To make your oats just right, you can adjust the milk. If you want them thicker, use less milk. For creamier oats, add more almond milk. Greek yogurt also helps create a smooth texture. It makes each bite rich and creamy. You can change the fruits in this recipe. Try using pears or fresh berries instead of apples. They add a different taste and keep it fun. If you want a twist, swap caramel for chocolate or butterscotch. Each new flavor brings excitement to your breakfast. Toppings can add crunch to your oats. Chopped nuts or granola work well. They make each bite even better. You can also pair these oats with other breakfast dishes. A side of fresh fruit or yogurt adds variety to your meal. {{image_4}} You can make this recipe dairy-free with simple swaps. Use plant-based milk like almond, oat, or coconut milk. Just pick one you enjoy. If you skip the Greek yogurt, your oats will still taste great. The oats will remain creamy without it. To keep this recipe gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats. Regular oats may contain gluten from cross-contamination. You can also replace any flour for toppings with almond flour or coconut flour. These options add flavor and keep it gluten-free. Want to boost the taste? Adding nut butters like almond or peanut butter gives richness to the oats. You can also sprinkle in spices like nutmeg or ginger for a warm kick. These extra flavors make every bite even more delightful. Caramel apple pie overnight oats last about 4 to 5 days in the fridge. To keep them fresh, use airtight containers. Glass jars work well for storage. This keeps the oats from drying out and helps hold the flavor. You can warm up your overnight oats if you prefer them hot. The best way is to use the microwave. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring in between. You can also enjoy them chilled, which is great on warm days. To save time, prepare multiple jars for the week ahead. You can mix and match flavors in each jar. For example, swap apples for other fruits like pears or berries. Customizing each jar keeps breakfast fun and exciting! Caramel apple pie overnight oats can stay fresh for up to five days in the fridge. To keep them safe and tasty, store them in airtight containers. Make sure to seal them well to avoid any unwanted odors from your fridge. If you notice any off smells or changes in texture, it’s best to toss them. Yes, you can make these oats vegan easily. Use plant-based milk like oat, soy, or coconut milk instead of almond milk. For the yogurt, choose a vegan option or leave it out. The caramel sauce can also be checked for dairy ingredients or swapped for a homemade vegan version. If you don’t have almond milk, you can use any milk you like. Options include soy milk, oat milk, or coconut milk. You can also use regular cow’s milk if you prefer. Just remember to check for flavors that might change the taste of your oats. You can use instant oats, but they will change the texture. Instant oats cook faster and become softer. This means your overnight oats may not have the same chewy bite. If you choose instant oats, reduce the soaking time to about 30 minutes instead of overnight. This blog post shared a simple recipe for caramel apple pie overnight oats.

Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup almond milk (or your preferred dairy or non-dairy milk)

1 large ripe apple, peeled and diced into small cubes

2 tablespoons packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

2 tablespoons caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade; plus extra for drizzling)

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for a creamier texture)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for a nutritional boost)

Chopped nuts or granola for topping (optional, for extra crunch)

Instructions
 

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and almond milk. Add the vanilla extract and stir until everything is well incorporated.

    Fold in the diced apple, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chia seeds (if using) to the oat mixture, ensuring all ingredients are well mixed.

      If you’re incorporating Greek yogurt, gently fold it into the mixture at this stage for a richer, creamier consistency.

        Drizzle the caramel sauce into the mixture, reserving a small amount for later use. Gently stir until the caramel is evenly distributed throughout the oats.

          Transfer the prepared mixture into mason jars or airtight containers, making sure to evenly distribute the diced apples and caramel for an even flavor in every serving.

            Seal the jars or containers and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours, allowing the oats to absorb the milk and soak up all the delicious flavors.

              When ready to enjoy, give the oats a good stir to combine the flavors again. Top with a drizzle of caramel sauce and a sprinkle of chopped nuts or granola for added texture and flavor.
