Ingredients:

For the apples:

- 1 medium apple, chopped
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- Sea salt

For the oats:

- 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk, or milk of your choice
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds

- ½ tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 cup old fashioned oats, or gluten-free oats

Directions:

For the apples:

Add the apples, cinnamon, maple syrup and a pinch of sea salt to a small saucepan over low heat.
Mix to combine then cover and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender.
Remove the lid, increase the heat to medium and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the apples and excess liquid evaporates.
Remove from the heat and set aside while you make the oats.

In a small bowl, add the milk, chia seeds, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple syrup.
Add the oats and mix to combine.
Add 1/4 of the oat mixture to 2 mason jars (8oz) or airtight containers (with lids).
Layer each evenly with ¼ of the apples then top each with an equal amount of the remaining oats and 1 tablespoon walnuts.
Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Oats may be eaten cold, at room temperature or warm.

Meet The Chef

At nine years old, Ben Gaffney asked if he could work alongside his father, a chef, at Congress Rotisserie in New Haven. The elder Gaffney put the boy to work washing dishes for two years, in the hope that it would discourage his interest in the restaurant business.

But a calling is a calling. Ben Gaffney has spent his life since then pursuing the wonders of food, bringing Middlefield along for the ride as chef at Lyman Orchards since 2017.
