Ingredients
For the overnight oats
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoon chia seeds
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
For the homemade applesauce
- 3 lbs apples peeled, cored, quartered and chopped into smaller chunks
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the cinnamon fried apples
- ¾ cup salted butter
- 8 medium tart red apples unpeeled or peeled, cored, and chopped into small cubes
- ½ large lemon juiced
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Toppings (optional)
- Sliced almonds or walnuts
- Additional chia seeds and oats
- Honey
Instructions
For the overnight oats
- In a large mason jar or container with a secure lid, combine the oats, yogurt, milk, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. Mix well. Cover with an airtight lid and store in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to overnight.
For the homemade applesauce
- Place the peeled, cored, quartered and chopped apples in a large pot. Add the water, sugar, ground cinnamon and salt and stir. Bring to a boil on high heat, then turn to low and cover. Maintain a low simmer for 30 minutes or until the apples are completely soft and cooked through.
- Once fully cooked, remove from heat. For a chunky applesauce, mash the apples in the pot with a potato masher. For a smooth applesauce, add to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth (if using a blender, work in batches and allow time to cool).
For the cinnamon fried apples
- Melt butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the butter until melted. Add the apples, lemon juice, and brown sugar. Stir well to combine.
- Continue to cook the apples until they are soft, but not mushy (you want some bite left). Remove from heat and stir in the ground cinnamon.
Assemble
- Add the desired amount of overnight oats to a bowl followed by homemade applesauce and warm, fried apples. Top each bowl with sliced almonds, chia seeds, and oats, if desired. Enjoy!
