Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Stir well and let it sit for at least 10 minutes, or cover and refrigerate overnight for softer oats.

Add the grated apple to the oats and milk mixture.
Stir in the yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and lemon juice until everything is well combined.
Fold in the chopped nuts for a crunchy texture. If using optional raisins or dried fruits, mix them in at this step as well.
