Cinnamon Apple Butter Overnight Oats

Want to know what it tastes like to eat the entire essence of Fall in a bowl for breakfast? I GOT YOU! I promise, this bowl embodies alllll the best parts of fall. Between the cinnamon and nutmeg warming spices and the flavorful apples (if you don't go apple picking, is it even Fall?), you will not only devour this bowl in seconds, but also feel like you're ready to take on every changing leaf and pumpkin patch in your future. The apple butter may seem daunting at first, but it is quite possibly the easiest thing I've ever made in this kitchen! If you do not have an instant pot, you can do the same method on a crock pot but cook on low for ~3 hours, or on the stove top in a covered pot on simmer for ~20 minutes (you will just have to mash the apples more than the other two methods).

Apple ButterIngredients (makes 1 large bowl):

• Apples (3)

• Coconut oil (1 tablespoon)

Directions:

1. Chop the apples into 1 inch pieces

2. Place the chopped apples, along with all of the ingredients above, in to an instant pot or pressure cooker

3. Close the lid and place on “steam” method for 10 minutes

4. Once finished, lightly mash some of the apples with a fork

5. Allow to cool and store in the refrigerator
