  2. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  3. Spoon the mixture into small bites or mold them into balls.

Notes

You can serve these bites as a quick snack in the middle of the day or as a light dessert after dinner. Sprinkle some extra nuts or a dash of cinnamon on top for a decorative touch. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Consider using flavored cottage cheese for added sweetness. Toast the oats and nuts for extra crunch. Swap the apple for other fruits like pear or banana, or mix in spices like nutmeg or ginger for variation.
