✓ Use Granny Smith apples: Their slightly tart flavour balances the sweetness of the oats and cooked apple topping.
✓ Adjust the consistency: Add a splash of milk before serving if your oats become too thick overnight.
✓ Let the apples cool: Allow the cooked apples to cool slightly before adding them to your jars.

For best texture, enjoy within 4–5 days.
