Can I warm up Apple Pie Overnight Oats?

Yes! While overnight oats are typically eaten cold, these Apple Pie Overnight Oats can be gently heated on the stove or in the microwave. Just add a splash of milk before reheating to loosen the texture and stir well as it warms. The flavor becomes even more comforting when served warm — just like real apple pie.

How long do Apple Pie Overnight Oats last in the fridge?

Properly stored in an airtight container, Apple Pie Overnight Oats can last up to 4–5 days in the fridge. For best freshness, keep them in glass jars or meal prep containers. If you notice any separation, give them a quick stir before eating.

Can I use steel-cut oats instead of rolled oats?

Steel-cut oats are not ideal for this recipe as they require more soaking time and won’t soften properly overnight. For best results, stick to rolled oats , which create the perfect creamy texture. If you're looking for a chewy variation, quick oats can be used, but they’ll result in a softer consistency.
