Apple Pie Overnight Oats

Apple Pie Overnight Oats are like waking up to dessert, but in the healthiest way possible. Each jar starts with creamy rolled oats, yogurt, and chia seeds that thicken overnight, then gets layered with warm, buttery cinnamon apples that taste just like apple pie filling. It’s an easy, no-cook breakfast you can make ahead, and it hits every cozy fall craving: sweet, spiced, and satisfying.
