For the crisp oat crumble (or use 40g granola)
- 10g flaked almonds

Step by step
Get ahead
The overnight oats keep for 2-3 days; add toppings when ready to eat. The crisp oat crumble keeps for several weeks in an airtight container, if you want to make a larger batch.
- Mix the oats, chia seeds (if using), sultanas and spices in a bowl. Add the milk, syrup and grated apple and mix well. Cover and leave to soak in the fridge overnight.
- For the crisp oat crumble, combine the ingredients together and spread out on a baking tray. Grill for about 2 minutes until golden and crisp, watching carefully and stirring once or twice.
- To serve, divide the overnight oats between serving dishes or pots and top with a spoonful of apple sauce and yogurt, sliced apple and crisp oat crumble (or granola).
