Chef tips
For an even silkier texture, chill the apple and yogurt beforehand. If you want a toastier flavor, dry-toast the oats in a skillet for 1 minute over medium heat, then let them cool before adding.
Substitutions
You can replace Greek yogurt with thick plain yogurt. Oat milk can be swapped for dairy milk or almond milk if you do not need to avoid tree nuts. Red apple can be replaced with Fuji or Gala apple.
