Apple Crumble Overnight Oats

(7)

Creamy oats combine with cinnamon-scented apples in this fall-inspired grab-and-go breakfast. Cashew butter adds a mild flavor and creamy texture. Try almond butter in its place to give this a nuttier twist. To make these overnight oats dairy-free, swap out the milk for unsweetened oat milk or almond milk.

  1. To prepare oats: Combine apple, water, 1 1/2 teaspoons maple syrup, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until the apple is fork-tender, 10 to 12 minutes.

  2. Stir milk, 1 cup oats, cashew butter, chia seeds, vanilla and the remaining 1 tablespoon maple syrup and 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon together in a medium bowl until fully combined.

  3. Spoon 1/4 cup oat mixture into each of 4 (10-ounce) jars with lids; layer 2 tablespoons apple mixture over each. Repeat the layers once. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 4 days.

  4. To prepare topping: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a small rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir flour, oats, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon and salt together in a small bowl until pea-size clumps form. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

  5. Bake until fragrant and lightly toasted, 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for about 15 minutes. Before serving the oats, top each serving with 2 tablespoons topping.

To make ahead

Refrigerate oats for up to 4 days. Store topping in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
