Bircher Muesli with Apple, Toasted Hazelnuts, and Honey

Long before overnight oats became a hashtag, there was Bircher muesli: cool, creamy, apple-scented and quietly civilised. It is the breakfast I make on a Sunday night when I want my Monday self to feel looked after, and the version I keep coming back to is built on a simple idea: not all the apple goes in the night before. Some is grated in to soften and sweeten the oats as they soak, but a generous handful of fresh, crisp apple is added in the morning, along with hazelnuts toasted until they smell of biscuits. The contrast between the silky soaked oats and the bright, crunchy toppings is the whole point, and it is what lifts this far above a sad tub of plain soaked oats.
