Prepare the Caramelized Apple Topping: In a small skillet over medium heat, add the chopped apple, brown sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg. Sauté the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool.
Combine the Oats Base Ingredients: In a mason jar, add the rolled oats, dairy-free milk, vegan yogurt, chia seeds, and flax meal. Optional can add in sweetener of choice. Stir well to combine all ingredients, ensuring the oats are fully mixed in with the liquid. Cover with a lid and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours, to allow the oats to absorb the flavors and soften.
Assemble and Serve: When ready to enjoy, give the oats a good stir to mix everything evenly. Spoon the caramelized apple topping over the oats. Add any optional toppings you prefer, such as a sprinkle of chopped nuts, extra cinnamon, granola or a drizzle of almond or peanut butter.
