Ingredients
  

1/2 cup chia seeds

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)

1/4 cup pure maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

A pinch of salt

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Extra cinnamon for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples with lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

    Make the Chia Pudding Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined. Let sit for 5-10 minutes and then stir again to prevent clumping.

      Layer the Ingredients: In individual jars or a large container, start layering with some of the chia pudding mixture at the bottom. Follow with a layer of the apple mixture, then more chia pudding, another layer of apples, and finish with chia pudding on top. You can repeat the layers if your container allows.

        Chill Overnight: Cover the jars or container with a lid or plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator and let it chill overnight, or for at least 4 hours. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.

          Serve: In the morning, give the pudding a good stir. Optionally, top with chopped nuts, an extra sprinkle of cinnamon, or additional diced apples before serving.
