Serves: 2-4 servings
 
Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats (steel cuts oats would work but I have not tried them yet)
  • 1 cup plain unsweetened dairy free milk (I used soy)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbs maple syrup
  • 4 apples (I used gala)
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tbs coconut oil
  • 1 tbs coconut sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Combine first 4 ingredients in a mixing bowl. Cover and let sit 8 hours.
  2. To prepare apples, dice your 4 apples into even pieces, leaving the skin on.
  3. Place a medium sized skillet on the stove on medium heat and add coconut oil.
  4. Once oil is hot, add apples. Allow to cook for about 5 minutes then add the coconut sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon, stir. Let cook for 5 more minutes or until apples are tender.
  5. Remove from heat. Place in airtight container and allow to cool in the fridge until oats are ready.
  6. Once oats have sat overnight or 8 hours, and the apples have cooled, it is time to assemble. I prefer to layer: apples, oats, apples, oats. It really doesn't matter though. Get creative with other toppings too, like granola or slivered almonds.
