Easy Vegan Apple Pie Overnight Oats

This easy apple pie overnight oats are just that- apple pie in oatmeal form, and you don’t need do anything in the morning to enjoy them!

Cozy vegan apple cinnamon overnight oats

I just love apple season, don’t you? It’s really my favorite time of year. Everything is ready to be harvested, the aroma outside turns slightly rustic, and everyone just looks so dang cute in their fall sweaters and jeans!

Mainly because autumn season = apple season, and I just love apples, especially a very popular fall dessert by the name of…apple pie a la mode.

It may not be acceptable to have a slice of apple pie a la mode for breakfast, but you can most definitely enjoy a batch of these apple overnight oats, completely dairy free!

These vegan apple overnight oats literally taste like having a big bowl of apple pie topped with a dollop of ice cream.

You know those apple spice oatmeal packets? Forget those packets, and just go for these- it’s just as easy, yet tastes a million bajillion times better. We’re talking real, wholesome ingredients in a breakfast that can be prepped to serve you for several mornings (i.e. it’s a wonderful vegan breakfast recipe to meal prep!).

Apple Pie Overnight Oats Ingredients

What I just love about this bowl of apple pie oatmeal is that you get multiple meals and basically dessert for breakfast with the simplest ingredients.

All you need for these oats are:

• Organic oats: if you’re gluten free, just make sure that they’re certified!
• Homemade or store bought unsweetened applesauce (if going the homemade route, I walk you through that below!)
• Cinnamon
• Vanilla
• Dairy free milk
• Dairy free yogurt (I personally like cashew yogurt here, but you can use any type!)
• Sea salt (a must)

That’s it! Really, the biggest items here are the oats, the apples, and the yogurt…the rest are just spices!

Pretty cool, huh?

How to make Vegan Apple Pie Overnight Oats

My favorite breakfast has to be overnight oats, and these apple overnight oats really hit home.

They’re perfect to meal prep on a Sunday so that you have a vegan breakfast all ready to go throughout the week or to just enjoy for a lot of people!

Vegan overnight oats are easy, delicious, and can be a great vegan breakfast option and easily customizable. Which is probably why you see so many overnight oats recipes on the inter webs ha!

But apple pie flavored overnight oats? Totally in a league of its own thanks to the homemade applesauce (yep, from fresh apples!), vanilla and a ton of cinnamon.

Tis the season!

How to make homemade applesauce

The key to these apple pie overnight oats is the applesauce.

Personally, I love making my own applesauce, which is quite easy!

To make your own applesauce that goes into the overnight oatmeal, begin by preheating the oven and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Brush each apple half with coconut oil and cinnamon, then bake them until they’re nice and soft!

Place the baked apples (with the skin on!) into a food processor or high powered blender and puree until smooth. I personally prefer the food processor here, as I find it makes a smoother sauce and breaks up the skin nicely, but you can use a good blender as well!

Now, we’ll put it all together for the best vegan overnight oats recipe!

How to make apple pie overnight oats

Keep in mind that this recipe makes multiple servings. If you would like to do single serve, see the notes section in the recipe card below.

You can use a large bowl here or a big container that is resealable, but you’ll definitely need some mixing room.

1. Whisk together the oats, pea protein, cinnamon, and sea salt.
2. Add in the dairy free yogurt, vanilla extract, and your homemade applesauce, and combine everything until it’s all mixed together.
3. Cover your overnight oatmeal and place them into the fridge to sit overnight or for at least 8 hours.
4. When you’re ready to serve, scoop some oats out into a bowl or container, add in a little dairy free milk and stir. Then add in your favorite toppings!

Basically deconstructed apple pie in a bowl 😉 It’s pretty awesome!

Can you eat overnight oats after 2 hours?

Technically yes, these vegan overnight oats will be ready to consume after only 2 hours in the fridge.

However, I find the best consistency is when left overnight (I guess that’s why they call them overnight oats!). Plus, then all you need to do is make a batch before you go to sleep.

When you wake up, just top and go!

And that’s it! Pretty simple things to keep in mind for your homemade vegan apple oats 🙂

The most important part is just to enjoy them! Make them totally you- if you don’t want extra fruit on top, go for something else. Your bowl of oats, your blank canvas!

I hope you love these vegan apple pie overnight oats as much as I do! They’re just so incredibly easy to make, and taste so dang yummy!

Happy meal prepping!
