The method
Step by step

Combine the rolled oats, milk, and plain yogurt in a medium bowl.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Ensure all oats are submerged in the liquid for proper soaking.

About 3 min
Cook’s note: Grating the apple finely helps it integrate better into the müesli.

Stir in the lemon juice and honey until well combined.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: The lemon juice prevents the apple from browning and adds a fresh tang.
- 4
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the oats to soften.
About 5 min
