Preparation
- In a jar or bowl, combine rolled oats, milk, diced apple, cinnamon, and honey or maple syrup (if using). Ensure the apple pieces are small enough to soften overnight.
- Stir well until all ingredients are mixed and the oats are evenly coated.
- If desired, add yogurt for creaminess and stir gently to incorporate.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours) to allow the oats and apple to soften and flavors to meld.
- In the morning, give the oats a stir, add a splash of milk if needed to loosen the texture, and top with chopped nuts before serving.

Choose a firm, crisp apple like Honeycrisp or Fuji. Adjust sweetness to taste; start with half the honey/maple syrup. For creamier oats, use Greek yogurt or full-fat milk.
