Ingredients
1/2 cup chia seeds
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 medium fresh apples, diced
1 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
1. 1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the chia seeds and almond milk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture has thickened to a pudding-like consistency.
2. 2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced apples with a pinch of cinnamon until they’re soft and caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. 3. In a serving dish or individual bowls, layer the chia pudding base, the cooked apples, and a sprinkle of the oat crumble topping. Repeat the layers until you’ve used up all the ingredients.
4. 4. Cover the assembled Apple Crumble Chia Pudding and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few chopped nuts, if desired.
Notes
For best results, be sure to refrigerate the chia pudding base for at least 2 hours, as this allows the chia seeds to fully absorb the almond milk and achieve the desired creamy texture.
Additionally, take the time to sauté the apples until they’re soft and caramelized, as this will enhance their natural sweetness and create a delightful contrast with the cool chia pudding.
