Break up your breakfast routine with healthy, clean eating Apple Pie Overnight Oats!
Hi everyone!
Apple season is in full swing in the mountains. The county just south of where I live grows a TON of apples, so it's always a big deal when the ripe fruits start coming off the trees. I try to drive directly to a farm at least once a season to pick up the freshest ones. Apples are such a classically good fruit and ones just off the tree are a whole new level of divine. I eat one almost every day this time of year.
At the apple farm they serve all sorts of apple goodness like apple cider, apple donuts, apple cider, apple cakes and APPLE PIES! They are all wonderfully classic desserts.
I decided today to bring you all of those flavors, but in a healthy guilt-free breakfast.... I call it Apple Pie Overnight Oats. Ta-dahhh!
The best part is my Apple Pie Overnight Oats is only 5 ingredients... 6 if you add the dollop of yogurt on top. If you leave that off, it is also vegan.
Either way it's apple-y goodness at its best.
The secret in getting a lot of apple flavor throughout the overnight oats is actually grating it! It mixes in so well and brings such goodness and texture. It really bulks up the breakfast too, keeping you fuller longer.
I added in chia seeds to give it even more texture and a nutritional boost!
It's flavored with cinnamon, which basically makes me so happy at breakfast. It just feels like a spice hug.
In the end this simple Apple Pie Overnight Oats will have you feeling like a cool fall morning at the orchard all season long.
Enoy!

I am seriously SO ready for fall! I love me some summer, but fall has my heart!
This looks fantastic! I can almost smell it just looking at your gorgeous pics!

Do you go apple picking??? I used to love that about living on the east coast - it's just not the same out on the west coast. And overnight oats is hand down my favourite breakfast ever =) I can't wait to try this. YUM!
JulieWunder says
I have, but have not made it this year. Sometimes I'll just go by the orchards and pick up a fresh bag if I don't have time to pick myself. It's so much fun and the apples taste better. Hope you enjoy it!
Akaleistar says
That looks like a yummy breakfast!
JulieWunder says
It is! I hope you enjoy it!
Rachel says
I love apple pie and I love oatmeal. Win-win!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Rachel!
Sarah- A Whisk and Two Wands says
Love apple pie, minus the crust! One of my favorite things to make after going to the orchard! I mixed it up and made some other versions this year with muesli last week, I'll have to try this version this week! I love the idea of grating in apple. I've added chopped apples, cooked and raw, and apple sauce before but I haven't grated it. Thank you for joining us for Meatless Monday!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Sarah! It's really good and filling!
Deborah @ Confessions of a mother runner says
Thanks for joining us for meatless Monday today who doesn't love apple pie?!
JulieWunder says
Seriously!!?? Thanks for hosting!
Platt College says
The oatmeal and apple would be great for dessert or breakfast, yum!
JulieWunder says
Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy it!
kimmythevegan says
Oooh what a great idea for overnight oats. It's my favourite breakfast, but I lean towards making a chocolate almond butter one, I really should switch it up and I love the sound of your apple pie version.
When I lived in Canada I used to LOVE apple picking =) It was so fun. I'm not sure they have it out here in California... and if they do, the apples just aren't the same. A trade off for living somewhere with little cold weather & rain.
Miz Helen says
What a perfect breakfast to wake up to on a crisp fall morning, yum! Hope you have a great weekend and thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!

Emily says
It's so beautiful, and if I lived in a place where there were apples everywhere, I would love to go pick apples! That's so neat that you can get them so fresh; what a blessing!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Emily! It's a beautiful world!
Mary Ellen @ VNutrition says
Yum!!! This look so good - a perfect fall breakfast! Such a great idea to grate the apples. I'm not a fan of big chunks of fruit in food (am I a fruit diva?) but I'd totally do this one with the nicely grated apple.
Thanks so much for linking up with us for #HealthyVeganFridays! I’m Pinning and sharing!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Mary Ellen! It's really filling that way! Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks Kristy! I hope you enjoy it!

I"m so weird but as much as I love apple and the taste of it, I just am not a fan of it IN other things. Isn't that so weird? Like I'd rather have these oats but then eat the apples on the side, ha! Same with pie. Thought I'd share that little fact with you today 😉 Regardless, I know these would taste AMAZING!
JulieWunder says
Haha! So you can have pie oatmeal... with apple on the side. :-)))
