So I know we’re in the heart of Fall right now, and we should be wearing cute flannels and boots and making hearty soups and baking delicious muffins … BUT it’s over 100 degrees in San Diego right now (seriously, is that a record??), and that means I’m definitely not turning on the oven. So what’s a girl to do to get that fix of cozy Fall flavors? Not to worry … this Apple Pie Chia Pudding is the perfect way to get in the October spirit without breaking a sweat!
This recipe was inspired by a super fun collaboration with a huge group of talented bloggers. We all got together and decided we’d share our favorite apple recipes on the same day. You can see all of the Fall deliciousness on instagram under the hashtag #AisforAllTheApples … get ready to be inspired – there’s so many amazing recipes being shared! And if this sounds familiar, we did this same collaboration over the summer with peaches and #summerlovespeaches!
Ingredients
Ingredients
For the pudding:
1/2 cup chia seeds
1 3/4 cups unsweetened almond milk
1 tbsp vanilla extract
Optional: 3 drops organic liquid stevia for extra sweetness
For the apples:
1 apple, diced (I used honeycrisp)
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp 100% maple syrup
Serves 4.
Instructions
- Pour almond milk, vanilla, and chia seeds into a tupperware. Add stevia drops if desired. Whisk well, cover with a lid, and place into the fridge for at least 3 hours (whisking once more after an hour).
- Heat coconut oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add diced apples and cinnamon, and stir until evenly coated. Sauté until the apples are tender, about 6-8 minutes.
- Turn off heat and stir in maple syrup.
- Place a serving of chia pudding in a bowl and top with a scoop of sautéed apples. Or feel free to pour all of the apple mixture into the chia pudding tupperware and mix in with the chia pudding.
- Enjoy!
