Instructions
Make The Apples
Dice the apples into small pieces then add them to a pot.
Add the sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and sea salt to the apples and stir until combined.
Add the water and cook the apples on low stirring often until tender and most of the juices have evaporated. There should only be a little bit of juice left in the bottom of the pot.
Set aside to cool.
To Make Individual Jars
To each jar add: 1/2 cup of oats, 1 Tbsp of chia seeds, 1 Tsp of cinnamon and stir. Then add 1 tbsp of yogurt, 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract, 1 tbsp of nut butter (optional).
Add 3/4 cup of milk/non-dairy milk to each jar. Stir until well combined then let sit 5 minutes. Stir again.
Top each jar with the spiced cooked apples. Then cover the jar with a lid.
Place each jar into the refrigerator overnight.
Before serving mix the apples into the oats. You can also warm in the microwave if desired.
To Make One Big Batch
Add all ingredients except milk to a medium size bowl. Mix well then add the milk. Stir, let sit 5 minutes, stir again then cover bowl and set in the fridge overnight.
Store the apples in a separate bowl in the refrigerator.
To serve, scoop some of the oats into a bowl, then top with the spiced apples. Warm gently in a microwave if desired.
Notes
Yogurt can be omitted if desired. The oats will be just a bit more runny.
If using Vanilla flavored milk or yogurt omit the vanilla extract.
You can sub in vanilla protein powder instead of the nut butter or yogurt.
