Ingredients

1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 medium apple, diced (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 cup granola (for topping)

Optional: chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans) for added crunch

Instructions

Begin by combining the almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Whisk together until the ingredients are evenly mixed and the chia seeds are fully incorporated.

In a separate bowl, prepare your apple by peeling (if desired), coring, and dicing it into small cubes. This will ensure an even distribution of apple goodness throughout the pudding.

Gently fold the diced apple into the chia mixture, ensuring that the apple pieces are evenly dispersed.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Refrigerate overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.

In the morning, give the pudding a good stir. It should have a creamy texture with the chia seeds expanded, and the apples softened but still slightly crunchy.

Serve the chia pudding in bowls or jars, topped with a generous scoop of granola and, if desired, sprinkle some chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

For an extra touch, drizzle more maple syrup over the top if you'd like it sweeter.

Enjoy your delightful Apple Pie Overnight Chia Pudding for breakfast, a snack, or a healthy dessert!
