Ingredient Notes

You’ll need just 10 simple ingredients to make the perfect cozy bowl of oats that taste just like apple pie!

Old-fashioned rolled oats: My preference for making oatmeal recipes. If you’ve made my Maple Apple Butter Oatmeal, you’ll know old fashioned rolled oats well. They have the perfect chewy consistency, while still cooking down into a soft, creamy texture in just a matter of minutes. If you are gluten-free, make sure to pick up a bag of gluten-free oats!
Chia seeds: My trick to making the perfect pudding consistency. If you’re out of chia seeds, try an equal amount of ground flaxseeds. I recipe tested with ground flax and it worked well, but chia is my preference.
Apple sauce: For additional apple flavour, add your favourite unsweetened apple sauce.
Spices: This recipe uses a blend of cinnamon, ginger, and allspice, a trio spice that you find in a traditional apple pie that gives full fall flavour (not just cinnamon!). It’s delicious in this recipe.

How to Make Apple Pie Oatmeal

First, begin by stewing the cinnamon apples. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the coconut oil until melted. Add the apples, maple syrup, and cinnamon, and stir to combine. Sauté for about 2 minutes, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let the apples cook until tender, about 10 minutes.

While the cinnamon apples cook, begin the oatmeal. In a separate saucepan, combine the oats, chia seeds, and almond milk. Stir well to combine, then bring the oatmeal to a simmer over high heat.

Once simmering, reduce the oats to medium heat and add in the apple sauce, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, vanilla, and salt. Mix to combine and continue to cook the oatmeal until thickened to your desired consistency (I usually cook for an additional 5-7 minutes).

If your oats become too thick, add in splashes of milk until the oats are thinner again!

When ready, pour the oatmeal into bowls and top with the tender cinnamon apples, a dollop of coconut yogurt, almond butter, an additional sprinkle of cinnamon, and chopped almonds. Enjoy immediately while warm!

Storage Instructions

If you’re making these oats for meal prep or simply have leftovers to store, let them cool to room temperature, then transfer to an air-tight container. I like to store my oats in individual jars for busy mornings on the go, but will also store in a large container for family meals.
