Description

A cozy, make-ahead breakfast featuring creamy overnight oats with diced apples, topped with a warm, crunchy maple pecan crumble. Perfect for lazy weekend mornings or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 cups milk (whole, oat, or almond)
½ cup Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat or low-fat)
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 medium apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Braeburn), peeled and diced
½ cup old-fashioned oats (for crumble)
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup pecans, chopped
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
1 tablespoon maple syrup (for crumble)
¼ teaspoon cinnamon (for crumble)

Instructions

Peel and dice apples into ½-inch cubes. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together milk, Greek yogurt, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Add the rolled oats and diced apples to the liquid mixture. Stir well to combine.
Divide the oat mixture evenly among 4-6 mason jars or ceramic ramekins. Press down gently to flatten tops.
Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small bowl, mix ½ cup oats, flour, chopped pecans, brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon maple syrup.
Add cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use fingers or a fork to work butter in until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Remove lids from jars. Sprinkle crumble mixture evenly over the top of each jar.
Place jars on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, until topping is golden brown and oats are heated through.
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

Toast pecans in a dry pan for 3-4 minutes before chopping for enhanced flavor. Ensure butter is cold for a flaky crumble. If using a single 8×8 baking dish, bake for 25-30 minutes. Do not use steel-cut oats as they will not soften enough overnight.
