Apple Pie Overnight Oats (Meal Prep Friendly)

These healthy apple pie overnight oats capture the essence of a classic American dessert in a wholesome morning meal. These oats are infused with the comforting flavors of apples, cinnamon, and a hint of brown sugar, reminiscent of a freshly baked pie. As you take the first bite, you will experience the satisfying crunch of diced apples and pecans, perfectly softened by the creamy oat base. Did I mention that these oats are meal prep friendly?

While you can make these healthy apple pie overnight oats anytime of year, they are especially great to enjoy during the cooler months of the year when the air is crisp. The warm and comforting flavors of the apples, cinnamon and brown sugar evoke a sense of coziness that pairs perfectly with the chilly mornings of autumn and winter.

If you love this healthy recipe, you will love my tiramisu overnight oats and my cinnamon roll overnight oats.

Ingredients

• Quick Oats
• Vanilla Protein Powder: I used Garden of Life 100% Whey Protein
• Chia Seeds
• Brown Sugar
• Cinnamon 
• Milk of Choice
• Vanilla Extract 

For the topping:

• Low Fat Cream Cheese
• Non- Fat Greek Yogurt, Plain
• Vanilla Bean Paste: I got mine from Trader Joe’s but you can also use this one too. 
• Brown Sugar
• Cinnamon
• Pecans
• Coconut Oil
• Apples, Diced

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

1. Add your dry ingredients (quick oats, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, brown sugar and cinnamon) to a meal prep friendly container. Give it a stir with a small whisk until everything is well combined. 
2. Next, add in your milk of choice followed by your vanilla extract. Using the whisk, mix again thoroughly until everything is well combined. Make sure to check the sides of your container to make sure that the chia seeds are not stuck onto the sides. 
3. Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight (preferably). 
4. Once your overnight oats are in the fridge, make your topping by combining your greek yogurt, cream cheese, vanilla bean paste, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Whisk until everything is well combined and the cream cheese is evenly distributed into the mixture. Set Aside.
5. Next, add your coconut oil to a small pan on medium high heat. Then add in your diced apples along with ½ teaspoon of cinnamon and ¼ teaspoon of brown sugar and sauté for several minutes until your apples start to cook down and soften.
6. Spoon over the yogurt and cream cheese mixture on top of your overnight oats mixture when you are ready to serve in the morning, top with your sautéed apples, pecans and some additional cinnamon to garnish. Enjoy! 

Hint: If you are running low on time and don’t mind the topping getting mixed throughout your oats, you can spoon your yogurt and cream cheese mixture on top of the overnight oats along with your apples, pecans and cinnamon before they firm up. Place in the fridge overnight so you can grab and go without additional work in the morning.
