Apple Pie Chia Pudding

I used to pride myself when I was little on being the best person to make the apple pie for the holidays. My family always reassured me it was the best they ever had which I believe was the beginning to my confidence with cooking. Apple pie will always have a sweet spot in my heart, and lets be real, in season apples covered in spices are IT! When fall hits, it’s my go-to! So here we are, a few weeks into fall and i’m already figuring out all the ways I can put sweet apples into food.

This is a perfect place for those apples. First thing in the morning getting what tastes like dessert but feels like a really satisfying yet light breakfast. The chia is sweetened with date nectar but if you can’t find that, just use maple syrup instead!

Makes 3-4 chia puddings depending on how much you stack them!

The Goods:

For the apples:

• 2 granny smith or honey crisp apples, cored and chopped

• 1 tsp melted coconut oil

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp cardamom

• 1/4 tsp nutmeg

• 1-2 tbsp maple syrup

For the chia pudding:

• 3/4 cup chia seeds

• 3 1/2 cups unsweetened plant milk

• 2-3 tbsp maple syrup

• 1 tsp cinnamon

For the toppings:

• chopped pecans

• coconut yogurt

• raspberries

• amaranth

• cinnamon

The Method:

For the apples:

1. Preheat oven to 350.

2. On a parchment lined sheet pan, add the apples.

3. Add the rest of the ingredients for the apples over the top and toss it well, so everything is coated.

4. Cook for 15-20 minutes and let it cool completely before adding to chia pudding.

For the chia pudding:

1. Add all ingredients to a 32 oz size mason jar and mix really well.

2. Let chill out in refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Mix a few times (about 7-10 minutes) in-between so that you don’t get any clumps in there.

Put it all together:

1. Layer each jar as you wish! I like to do first the chia pudding, then the yogurt, and then I love to add raspberries or pomegranates for color and that bright flavor. Top with nuts/granola, cinnamon, and amaranth/hemp seeds.

2. Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator 3-4 days.
