- Divide the oats, diced apples, chia seeds, spices, almond milk, and maple syrup between two pint-sized mason jars or a large bowl or container. Mix the contents well with a spoon.
- Cover and refrigerate the overnight oats for 6-8 hours. Stir the oats well before serving. You can eat them chilled directly from the fridge or warm them in the microwave.

- Optionally, omit all the spices and substitute 1 teaspoon apple pie spice if you have it handy.
- Storing leftovers: Overnight oats should be tightly covered or in an airtight container and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
