Apple Pie Overnight Oats with Chia and Yogurt

Warm spice, creamy oats, and juicy apples—everything you love about apple pie, now in breakfast form. These apple pie overnight oats with chia and yogurt give you the comfort of a fall dessert with the ease of a meal-prepped jar. Whether it’s a chilly morning or a busy weekday, this breakfast is ready when you are.

The Story & Intro

I’ll never forget the fall weekend when I tried to recreate my grandma’s apple pie—but with oats. Her pies were everything: soft apples, cinnamon spice, and just enough sweetness. My spin? Turning that feeling into a healthy grab-and-go breakfast.

The result was this layered, creamy bowl of apple pie overnight oats with chia and yogurt. It’s become a fall favorite in my house, especially when I top it with chopped apples sautéed in cinnamon and a little maple syrup. Add a dollop of yogurt and suddenly, it’s cozy apple pie in a chilled jar.

This breakfast has all the flavor of pumpkin pie oats, but with crisp apple goodness and extra protein from Greek yogurt. It tastes like fall and fuels your morning too.

Ingredients That Bring the Apple Pie Vibe

What Goes Into Apple Pie Overnight Oats

This jar is filled with goodness:

• Rolled oats
• Milk of choice
• Chia seeds
• Greek yogurt
• Apple (diced or sautéed)
• Maple syrup or honey
• Cinnamon and nutmeg
• Vanilla extract
• Optional: flaxseed, almond butter

The chia thickens everything overnight, and the yogurt gives it a creamy finish. The real magic happens when you sauté apples with cinnamon like in these moist cinnamon applesauce bread—your whole kitchen will smell amazing.

Apple Tips + Fall Spice Additions

You can use raw apples or lightly cook them. I like sautéing mine with cinnamon and maple syrup to make the flavors more pie-like. Want to make it extra? Add a pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger.

Use Honeycrisp or Gala apples for sweetness. Granny Smith adds tang but might need more maple syrup to balance it out.

Prep Ahead, Layering, and Topping Ideas

Make It Ahead for Busy Fall Mornings

This recipe is built for the fridge. Mix the oats, chia, and liquid base the night before, then layer with yogurt and apples. It’s just as convenient as making apple crisp bars—but takes five minutes.

I usually prep 3 jars on Sunday. They hold up well for up to 4 days and the flavor deepens over time.

Fun Topping Ideas

Here’s how I like to top mine:

• More cinnamon apples
• Greek yogurt drizzle
• Chopped pecans or walnuts
• Almond butter
• Sprinkle of granola or crushed crackers

If you’ve ever tried a sweet and sour apple combo, you’ll know that tangy yogurt paired with apple spice is unbeatable.
