Overnight oats layered with cinnamon-simmered apples and topped with walnuts. Made in two jars, it can be eaten cold, at room temperature or warmed.

Ingredients

For the apples

1 medium apple chopped
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or sugar-free maple syrup
Sea salt (a pinch)

For the oats

1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk or milk of your choice
2 teaspoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ tablespoon pure maple syrup or sugar-free maple syrup
1 cup old fashioned oats or gluten-free oats
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts for topping

Directions

Cover the chopped apple with the cinnamon, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt in a pot and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes, until tender.
Take off the lid, turn up the heat, and cook a few minutes more until the liquid thickens and coats the apples. Set aside.
In a bowl, whisk the milk, chia seeds, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple syrup, then stir in the oats.
Split the oat mixture between two 8 oz jars or airtight containers. Put half the apples in each, cover them with the rest of the oat mixture, and finish with walnuts.
Cover and chill overnight. Eat it cold, at room temperature, or warm.
