½ cup rolled oats also known as old-fashioned oats
3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice , or the Sweet Potato Pie spice from my cookbook

½ apple diced
2 dates pitted and diced

In a small bowl, combine the apples, remaining dates, remaining pumpkin pie spice, and remaining maple syrup. Stir well.
Transfer the seasoned apple mixture to the jar, topping the oats.
Cover the oats and chill them in the refrigerator for 6 hours to overnight.
Before serving, stir the ground flaxseed and chopped walnuts into the apples and overnight oats. Enjoy them cool or heat them in the microwave for at least one minute before enjoying.

Notes

Storage Directions

Refrigeration: Once prepared, apple overnight oats keep covered in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Though they can safely be kept longer, their texture can break down and become undesirable beyond this point.
Freezing: If desired, freeze the oats in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. The apples may have a slightly different texture upon defrosting, but they will still be tasty.

Recipe Pro-Tips

- Chop apples finely. For juicy and sweet fruit in every bite, I recommend dicing the apples into 1/4-1/8 inch pieces so they can distribute evenly throughout the oatmeal mixture.

- Cover before refrigerating. Prevent the overnight oats with apples from drying out as they soak by covering them with a lid or plastic wrap.
- Microwave before enjoying. For warm and thicker oats, microwave them for at least one minutes before eating. Add the flax seed and walnuts after microwaving.
