Fall in Love with Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats for Breakfast

Some mornings, I want a breakfast that feels like a hug. Not a protein shake. Not something I’m scarfing down while stepping over toys. I mean a real, nostalgic, soul-soothing hug. And for me, Apple pie for breakfast in the form of Cinnamon Apple overnight oats.

These Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats are my go-to when I need a quick prep but still want something warm-flavored and deeply comforting—like a mini apple pie without the crust.

I grew up watching my mom slice apples for pies and stews, always sprinkling a little too much cinnamon and never apologizing for it. Now here I am, in my own kitchen, doing the exact same thing—but layering it all into a jar instead of a pie dish.

Why These Cinnamon Apple Overnight Oats Just Work

Apple cinnamon is one of those flavors that always hits. It’s nostalgic, naturally sweet, and feels like fall—no matter what time of year it is. And when you mix that into creamy overnight oats? Magic. Here’s why I love this jar in particular:

• It tastes like comfort, sweet, spiced, and familiar
• It’s easy to prep ahead for school mornings or work chaos
• It uses one fresh apple—nothing fancy, just pantry staples
• It’s endlessly customizable (add granola, nuts, cream cheese, or yogurt)

What You’ll Need For Perfect Cinnamon Apple Overnight Oats

You probably already have most of these in your kitchen:

• Rolled oats (I use Quaker old-fashioned)
• Milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, coconut—all work)
• A crisp apple (I use Honeycrisp because it holds texture and flavor)
• Cinnamon
• Brown sugar or maple syrup
• Optional: chopped walnuts and vanilla extract

I don’t peel the apple—I just dice it small and toss it in. It softens slightly overnight but keeps a little bite, which adds a great texture contrast to the oats.
