Notes

  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture.
  • Freshly squeezed orange juice gives the best flavor.
  • Honeycrisp is my favorite apple, but any crisp apple will work.
  • You can shred the apple instead of chopping it, which is closer to the original version.
  • Add the walnuts just before serving if you want them to stay crunchy.
  • Soak the oats for at least 4 to 6 hours, but overnight is best.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a dairy-free version, use thick dairy-free yogurt and maple syrup or agave instead of honey.
