Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- 1. In a mason jar or bowl, combine oats, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon. Stir well.
- 2. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).
- 3. In the morning, heat coconut oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add diced apple, cinnamon, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Notes
For a nut-free version, substitute sunflower seeds for walnuts and oat milk for almond milk. Oats thicken over time – add extra milk if needed before serving.
