Instructions

1. Sauté the apples: In a sauté pan over medium heat, combine the chopped apple, water, maple syrup (or honey), cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Cook for 5-10 minutes until the apples are softened and fragrant. Set aside.

2. Make the oatmeal: In the same pan, add oats and water (or milk). Cook on low-medium heat until it begins to simmer. Stir in chia seeds and continue stirring until the oatmeal thickens.

3. Assemble: Add the oatmeal to a bowl. Top with a layer of vanilla Greek yogurt, followed by the spiced apples. Finish with a sprinkle of granola for crunch.

4. Enjoy! This Apple Pie Oatmeal is not only delicious but also balanced with protein, fiber, and whole grains – making it a perfect fall breakfast or cozy morning treat.
